The O’Malley series is Dee Henderson’s signature work, following seven adults who grew up together in foster care and chose to become a family. Each sibling works in a dangerous profession: hostage negotiation, firefighting, law enforcement, and medicine. The series begins with Danger in the Shadows (1999), introducing the family through a romance involving the youngest O’Malley.

The Negotiator (1999), The Guardian (2001), The Truth Seeker (2001), The Protector (2001), The Healer (2002), and The Rescuer (2003) each give a different sibling their own story, complete with a love interest and a crime or crisis to resolve. Jennifer: An O’Malley Love Story (2010) added a later entry. The series mixes thriller pacing with faith-centered character development.
