Are the Better Late Romances related to the Better Late Than Single TV show?

Before the TV series existed, a group of bestselling authors, including Jacqueline Diamond, decided to write loosely related clean romances featuring couples age 50 and up. After considering many possibilities, most of which were already in use, they hit on the name Better Late, which at that time was new. These fast-paced contemporary stories share a setting and, among other key events, an earthquake.

How did Better Late Romances give rise to a spin-off series?

Really? At Your Age? carries out the Better Late series theme of a clean romance focusing on a couple over age 50. Since the heroine has two sisters, Jacqueline Diamond -- who is known for her medical-set romances -- was inspired to give each of the women a separate book, followed by a fourth featuring a colleague who's a nurse. These four contemporary novels together compose the Sisters, Lovers & Second Chances series.
