Wilder Family is an eight-book Harlequin Special Edition series published primarily in 2007 and 2008, with a final entry in 2013. The series is set in Walnut River, Massachusetts, and centers on the Wilder family, who are deeply connected to the community hospital. A corporate acquisition threat provides the overarching plot, while each book follows a different family member or associated character through a romance.
Karen Rose Smith contributed most of the core 2007-2008 titles, including First-Time Valentine, Falling for the M.D., and Paging Dr. Daddy. The medical setting and family dynamics give the series a different texture from Smith’s ranch and Texas-based continuities, drawing instead on a New England community and hospital environment.
