For Her Eyes Only is a 14-book series that Marie Ferrarella published between 1987 and 1998. The books blend romance with elements of suspense and mystery, featuring heroes who tend toward the strong, silent type and heroines who challenge them. Man Without a Badge starts the series, and later entries like Reckless Lover, Extreme Heat, and A Body to Die For keep the tension high.
The series spans more than a decade of Ferrarella’s career, and the shift in tone from the earlier books to the later ones reflects her growth as a writer. The 1987 debut has a different feel from the 1998 closer, but the through-line is consistent: each book pairs a woman with a man who has something to hide, and the romance unfolds as secrets come to light. Readers who enjoy the intersection of danger and attraction will find this series has plenty of both.
