[LV - I've checked with the editor about the contents and then made separate entries for the two articles which exclusively address the novels (see below, in the "Works in this Collection" section). Other articles may focus solely on the TV series, or on a mix of the TV series and novels. However, Jessica's own article discusses the HEA as a concept, and since that's so central to the definition of the romance genre I've also added an entry for that article (and it's available freely online).]
