Guardian Hostage Rescue Specialists: Charlie Team is a spinoff starting with Rescuing Rebel (2023). The Charlie team brings fresh operatives into the Guardian world, maintaining the series formula of dangerous rescues and the relationships that grow from them.
The eight-book series runs from 2023 through 2025. Rescuing Rebel and Rescuing Stitch (2024) introduce the new team, while Rescuing Mia (2024) and Jenna’s Protector (2024) expand the cast. The Rescuing Ally story is split across two parts, both released in 2025, giving that particular storyline more room to develop than the single-volume entries.
Charlie Team is the third spinoff in the Guardian HRS franchise, following Alpha and Bravo. Ellie Masters has kept the series growing without repeating herself too closely, though the core structure of each book remains the same: a rescue operation leads to romance. Readers already invested in the franchise will want to continue with Charlie Team to keep up with the expanding Guardian roster.
