Understanding the Shared Multi-Author Montana Series

Dani Collins frequently collaborates on multi-author continuity series set in Marietta. In these series, she writes one book, while other romance authors write the rest. You do not need to read the entire series to understand Dani's books, but knowing how they fit helps prevent confusion:

• Firefighters of Montana: Dani Collins wrote the second book, Scorch (2014). The other titles in this collection, such as Smolder, Ignite, Heat, and Flame, are written by different authors like Tracy Solheim and Nicole Helm.
• Montana Born Brides: Dani Collins contributed His Blushing Bride (2015), which serves as the second book in a series that also features books by Scarlet Wilson and Maisey Yates.
• Bachelor Auction: This series includes Dani's The Bachelor's Baby (2015) alongside entries by several other romance authors.

Dani's Historical Western Romances

In recent years, Dani Collins has expanded her repertoire to include historical westerns. These books offer a change of pace from her typical contemporary settings, taking readers back to the 19th-century frontier. Read them in order:

Understanding Harlequin Continuity Lines

A massive portion of Dani's bibliography is categorized under major Harlequin Presents publisher lines like One Night With Consequences, Secret Heirs of Billionaires, Seven Sexy Sins, and Conveniently Wed!. It is important to know that these are not series written entirely by Dani Collins. They are massive, multi-author initiatives. Dani's individual contributions are standalone stories that can be read completely independently of the other books in those lines. For instance, her contribution to Seven Sexy Sins is The Sheikh's Sinful Seduction (2015), and her book in Secret Heirs of Billionaires is The Maid's Spanish Secret (2019).
