The Westmorelands is Brenda Jackson’s flagship series, running 36 books from Delaney’s Desert Sheikh (2002) through Ravished by Desire (2020). The series follows the sprawling Westmoreland family across branches in Atlanta and Denver, with each book spotlighting a different family member’s love story. Delaney, Dare, Thorn, Stone, and dozens more Westmorelands each get their moment at the center of the story.

Jackson builds the family across nearly two decades of books, and longtime readers develop a deep familiarity with the entire clan. New characters from the Denver branch expanded the series midway through, and connections to the Steele family and other Jackson series add further depth. It is the definitive entry point for readers new to Jackson’s work, and the series that made her one of the most successful romance authors of her generation.
