Her works feature quirky heroines and address challenging topics such as spousal abuse. For her historical romances, Garwood ensures accuracy by consulting three sources at the University of Kansas.

Julie Garwood debuted as an author in 1985 with "What's a Girl to Do?" under the pseudonym Emily Chase, and also released "Gentle Warrior" under her own name that year. Her novels often feature strong female protagonists navigating complex romantic and historical settings. Key works include "The Lion's Lady," where an English viscountess seeks adventure in America, and "The Bride," which follows a Scottish laird's arranged marriage to an English noblewoman. Garwood's storytelling blends romance with suspense, as seen in "Heartbreaker," where an FBI agent protects a witness. Her books consistently explore themes of love, resilience, and empowerment.
