Jenna Kernan writes romance and thrillers. Her Apache Protectors franchise — including the original series (2015), Tribal Thunder (2016), and Wolf Den (2018) — features Native American heroes in romantic suspense. The Trail Blazers (2003) and Smoke River (2013) are historical western romances.

In recent years, Kernan has shifted toward psychological thrillers. Agent Nadine Finch (2021), The Adoption (2022), and The Fake Mother (2025) mark a darker turn in her catalog.
