The Destiny’s Women series ran from 2002 to 2005 and brought Lindsay McKenna back to the military romance territory she made her name in. Each book centers on a woman serving in or connected to the armed forces, pairing her with a man who must earn her trust before he can win her heart. The settings range from field operations to stateside assignments, but the emotional stakes are consistent across every entry.

McKenna’s strength in this series is writing women who carry real authority. They are officers, medics, and pilots with careers they have built through hard work, and the romance does not come at the expense of their professional identity. Books like An Honorable Woman and Her Healing Touch put military service at the center of the story rather than treating it as backdrop.

The series spans six books and moves through the early 2000s alongside the real-world conflicts that shaped that era. Readers who enjoy military romance with a strong female lead will find the Destiny’s Women series a solid and consistent run from one of the genre’s most experienced voices.
