Order of Carla Kelly Books
Carla Kelly crafts historical romance novels that focus on "dukeless" Regency stories, choosing to spotlight ordinary characters navigating everyday challenges rather than the typical aristocratic tales. This American author has also explored western romance themes in her earlier publications and incorporated LDS elements into some of her work. With a master's degree in American history from the University of Louisiana-Monroe, Kelly brings scholarly depth to her storytelling.
Kelly launched her writing career in 1985 with her debut standalone novel, Daughter of Fortune. Below is a chronological listing of Carla Kelly's published works:
