Desert Dogs is Cara McKenna’s longest series, five books set in a small, dusty Nevada town. The series began with Lay It Down in 2014 and ran through Ride It Out in 2017. Each book centers on a different resident of the town and the romance that shakes up their life, with the desert landscape and small-town dynamics providing the setting.
The series features the kind of rough-edged, physical heroes McKenna is known for, set against a backdrop of pickup trucks, motorcycles, and wide-open desert. The community grows across the books, with characters from earlier entries showing up in later ones.
