The Masterson-Tiernan series uses a dual-family structure, following the Mastersons and Tiernans through three connected romance novels published over two years. The family-saga approach gives the short series more depth than a straightforward trilogy, since readers can track how the families’ histories and connections shape each story.
Published 1986 to 1988, the series belongs to Ross’s intensive early career phase, when she was building her readership through consistent category romance output.
