Set in the wide open spaces of Wyoming, this series puts Lindsay McKenna’s signature blend of tough heroes and emotionally grounded heroines to work in ranching country. The men in these books tend to be veterans, wranglers, or lawmen carrying old wounds alongside their day-to-day work, while the women who enter their lives are just as capable of holding their own.
Starting with Shadows from the Past in 2009, the series ran through to Out Rider in 2016, picking up new characters along the way who share the same Wyoming landscape. Titles like The Defender, The Wrangler, and Wolf Haven show McKenna’s consistent interest in protective, quietly intense heroes who find that healing comes from unexpected places.
Readers who like their romance grounded in physical settings – horses, open land, mountain winters – will find this series a reliable choice. The pacing is steady and the emotional beats feel earned, which made it a fan favorite during the years it was running under the Harlequin Special Edition imprint.
