Inspired by her love for romance and history, Knightley crafted a series that marries the emotional intensity of Outlander with a modern, relatable heroine. Writing under her own name for paranormal romance and H.D. Knightley for young adult novels, she drew from her beachside life and family dynamics to shape Kaitlyn’s world. The series’ debut novel sparked a devoted fanbase, leading to an 18-book saga that continues to grow.
