London James’s standalone novels are her earliest published works, all released in 2019. These five contemporary romances include popular tropes like the secret baby (The Secret Baby), the enemies-to-lovers workplace romance (Boss I Love to Hate), and the damaged love interest (Broken Hero). Stay With Me and Stuck With You round out the collection.
These books are quite different from the western historical romances that James would become known for starting in 2021. They are contemporary settings rather than frontier towns, and they lean into modern romance tropes. For readers who discovered James through her mail-order bride series and want to see where she started, these standalones show her range as a romance writer before she found her niche in the Old West.
