Willa Nash

Willa Nash is a pen name used by contemporary romance novelist Devney Perry for a distinct corner of her catalogue, kept editorially separate from the many interconnected Montana-set series she writes under her own name. As Willa Nash, Perry has written the Calamity Montana series and the Holiday Brothers series, both small-town contemporary romances that share the found-family warmth and easy humor of her Devney Perry books while standing apart as their own line, with their own recurring cast and setting. The split between the two names functions primarily as a way to organize her large and fast-growing body of work rather than signaling any real difference in genre or tone; readers who enjoy Perry's small-town romance style under her own name will find the same sensibility, tight-knit communities, banter-heavy leads, and steady emotional payoff, in the Willa Nash books. Because both series are written one book after another rather than as standalone entries in a shared universe, they reward reading in publication order within each series, though either series can be picked up without having read Perry's other work first. Readers new to Willa Nash are generally pointed to the first book in whichever of the two series interests them, Calamity Montana for a classic small-town ensemble romance or Holiday Brothers for its family-centered, holiday-themed hook. No film or television adaptation of either series exists to date, and Perry continues to publish actively under both names.
