Marie Ferrarella’s standalone novels represent nearly four decades of her career, from Scenes from the Heart in 1983 to Rescued by the Rancher in 2022. These 55 books were published outside of her named series and cover the full range of her interests: romantic comedies, suspense, small-town love stories, and family dramas. Titles like Grand Theft: Heart, Foxy Lady, and Chocolate Dreams show her flair for playful premises, while Sundays Are For Murder and Father Most Wanted take a more suspenseful approach.
The standalone novels appeared across multiple publishers and imprints over the years, including Silhouette, Harlequin, and others. For readers already familiar with Ferrarella’s series work, the standalones offer a chance to see her handle one-off stories without the constraints of a multi-book arc. For newcomers, they provide easy entry points since no background reading is required. Each book delivers a self-contained love story with the fast pacing and conversational tone that became Ferrarella’s signature.
