Universe Crossovers and Connections

Sawyer Bennett has created an expansive shared universe across her contemporary romance novels. If you want to expand your reading experience, keep an eye out for these connections:

The Cold Fury Connection

Before launching Arizona Vengeance, Sawyer Bennett wrote the highly popular Cold Fury hockey series, which focuses on the Carolina Cold Fury team. While the two series feature different teams and can be read independently, they share a universe. Characters occasionally mention or cross paths with players from the Carolina team, making it a great companion series.

Jameson Force Security Crossover

In Kane (Book 9), readers get a direct crossover with Sawyer Bennett's romantic suspense series, Jameson Force Security. Characters like Kynan McGrath, Cruce Britton, and Saint Bellinger make appearances in Kane's story. While you don't need to read Jameson Force Security to understand Kane, reading it adds extra depth for fans of both series.
