The Shadow Team series launched in 2021 with Hot Pursuit and quickly became one of Lindsay McKenna’s most active ongoing runs. By 2024 the series had grown to six books, with Last Stand, Collateral Damage, No Quarter, and Unforgettable all arriving in 2023 and Hostile Territory following in 2024. The pace of publication reflects McKenna’s comfort with this kind of story, fast-moving military romantic suspense built around special operations characters who operate in dangerous places.
Each book follows a different pairing from within the Shadow Team unit, which keeps the series moving while giving readers the pleasure of catching up with familiar faces from earlier entries. The missions themselves are the kind that put characters in genuine danger, which keeps the tension high even when the romance is developing.
McKenna’s long history writing military romance shows in the specificity she brings to the team dynamics and the procedural elements of special operations work. Hot Pursuit is the right place to start, and readers who enjoy contemporary military romantic suspense will find the Shadow Team series one of her most consistent recent efforts.
