Black Jaguar Squadron ran from 2010 to 2013 and put female military pilots at the center of the story, a choice that reflected McKenna’s longtime interest in writing strong women in demanding professional roles. His Woman in Command opens the series and sets the tone: a woman in a leadership position within a military unit, navigating both the pressures of combat flying and a complicated romantic dynamic with a fellow officer.
Operation: Forbidden and His Duty to Protect followed in 2011 and 2012, each focusing on a different pairing within the squadron. Beyond Valor in 2013 closed out the series. The Afghanistan setting grounds the books in a specific contemporary military context, and McKenna draws the operational details with care that longtime readers of her military romance work have come to expect.
The series works well read in order, as characters from earlier books reappear and the squadron itself develops as an ensemble. His Woman in Command is the place to start, and the four-book length makes the complete series an easy commitment for readers new to McKenna’s military romances.
