The Texas Brands is a nine-book romance series by Maggie Shayne, originally published through Silhouette Intimate Moments between 1996 and 2001. The series is set on a Texas cattle ranch and follows the Brand family: five overprotective brothers and one rebellious sister. Each book focuses on a different family member finding love, usually under complicated or dangerous circumstances.

The Littlest Cowboy kicks off the series in 1996, and the books continue through The Homecoming in 2001. Shayne describes the series as being about family, loyalty, and love in a small-town Texas setting. Several of the later books were repackaged with combined editions under different titles. The series has the classic category romance structure of the era, with each novel running short and focused tightly on one couple’s story while maintaining the larger Brand family arc across the full nine books.
