The Police Surgeons series takes Harlequin Medical Romance into law enforcement territory. The six books, published between 2003 and 2005, feature doctors and nurses who work with police departments rather than traditional hospitals. Their duties include forensic work, treating victims, and in some cases going undercover, which adds a layer of suspense to the standard medical romance.
The series starts with The Nurse’s Child and runs through Undercover at City Hospital. The crossover between medicine and policing gives these books a grittier feel than typical Harlequin Medical titles. Each story still centers on a romance between colleagues, but the police element raises the stakes beyond what you would find in a standard hospital setting.
