The Recommended Reading Order for Alaskan Security-Team Rogue
To fully enjoy the overarching mystery and the tight-knit family dynamics of the team, the best way to read the series is in chronological order, which matches the publication order. The series begins with a prequel novella that sets up the team before launching into full-length novels.

- Loss Recovery (2019)
- Counterfeit Relations (2020)
- Enemy Territory (2020)
- Guerrilla Tactics (2020)

Where Should You Start?
You have two great options for starting this series. If you want the complete background setup, begin with the prequel novella, Collateral Damage. If you prefer to dive straight into a full-length novel, Loss Recovery serves as an excellent entry point. It introduces Wade Denison and Bess, establishing the tone, danger, and sizzling romance that defines the rest of the series.
The Team Shadow Spin-off
The fourteenth book in the list, Covert Operation (2024), serves a double purpose. While it completes the narrative sequence of the Team Rogue books, it also functions as the official first installment of the spin-off series, Alaskan Security-Team Shadow. This spin-off shifts focus to a new set of characters, beginning with Zeke's story, but remains firmly set in the same thrilling universe.
The Name Behind the Books
Readers might notice that some retail outlets list the books under both Jemma Westbrook and Janice Whiteaker. Do not worry about missing a co-author; Jemma Westbrook is a pen name for Janice Whiteaker (who also writes romantic comedies under the name Josie Watts). The two names are often listed together on the book covers as a branding choice.
