- Book 1:
The Bribe
The Bribe opened Willa Nash's Calamity Montana series on October 15, 2020, at 320 pages, establishing the town's broadly comedic, farce-driven tone -- lighter and sillier than Devney Perry's work under her own name -- and its meddling sheriff, Duke Evans.

The Bluff
The Bluff followed in 2021, growing slightly to 336 pages, pairing an artist with a woman escaping her old life in a marriage-of-convenience romance set among Calamity's eccentric, meddling townsfolk.
Alternative text for cover: Cover of The Bluff - Book 3:
The Booty
The Booty, a novella slotted at 2.5, also appeared in 2021, at just 84 pages -- far shorter than the full-length novels surrounding it -- bridging The Bluff and The Brazen in the Calamity Montana reading order.

The Brazen
The Brazen, the third full novel, came out the same year, 2021, at 322 pages, the third Calamity Montana release in a single year, continuing the series' breezy, misunderstanding-driven small-town comedy.

The Bully
The Bully followed in 2022 at 330 pages, keeping to Calamity's blend of small-town found-family warmth and turned-up comedy under Sheriff Duke Evans's watch.
Alternative text for cover: Cover of The Bully - Book 6:
The Brawl
The Brawl, also from 2022, matches The Bribe's opening length almost exactly at 320 pages, continuing the farce-leaning romantic comedy that Willa Nash built the series around.

The Brood
The Brood closed out this run in 2023, a year after The Brawl, at 322 pages -- matching The Brazen's length precisely -- bringing Calamity Montana's eccentric cast of townsfolk to their final pairing.

About the Calamity Montana series
Calamity Montana is a small-town romantic comedy series published under Devney Perry's Willa Nash pen name, set in the fictional town of Calamity, Montana, presided over by its sheriff, Duke Evans, and populated by the kind of eccentric, meddling townsfolk the town's name promises. The Bribe opens the series and establishes the tone: broadly comedic small-town romance with lighter emotional stakes than Perry's work under her own name, leaning into farce and misunderstanding-driven plots. The Bluff follows with a marriage-of-convenience pairing between an artist and a woman escaping her old life, and the series continues through The Brazen, The Bully, and The Brawl before closing with The Brood, plus the novella The Booty slotted between books two and three.
Written for Kindle Unlimited under the Willa Nash name, Calamity Montana is deliberately positioned as a breezier, sillier counterpart to Perry's more emotionally weighty Montana series like Jamison Valley or Lark Cove: same small-town found-family warmth, but with the comedy turned up and the drama turned down.
