You, Me & the Kids is a Harlequin series line built around family-themed romance — stories where children, step-parenting, adoption, or blended family dynamics sit at the center of the romantic plot. The 26 books in the collection span multiple authors and publication years, connected by the shared focus on what it means to build a family in unexpected circumstances.

Kay Lyons Stockham’s contributions to the line fit naturally with her broader interest in single-parent romance and family-stakes love stories. Readers who enjoy her Bundles of Joy entries or her Montana-set family romances will find familiar emotional territory in her You, Me & the Kids titles.
