Maris Soule’s standalone novels chart the full arc of her writing career, from First Impressions in 1983 to Echoes of Terror in 2017. The bulk of the list covers her years writing for Harlequin and Silhouette — category romances with contemporary settings, small-town backdrops, and recurring themes of family and second chances.

The final two standalone entries, A Killer Past (2015) and Echoes of Terror (2017), mark a shift toward darker material. Both blend suspense with romance and show the same instincts that would fuel her P.J. Benson mystery series. Readers who enjoy romantic suspense will find the most variety across her standalone catalog.
