Key Series Dynamics & Crossovers

Publication vs. Chronological Order

Because the events in the series flow chronologically alongside their publication, the recommended reading order is identical to the publication order. Reading the books out of order may spoil previous couples' happy endings and the career progressions of the characters.

The MacKenzie Family Crossover

The final entry, Never Surrender, is a crossover novella written for Liliana Hart's MacKenzie Family world. Instead of the war zone of Afghanistan, it brings the Bagram crew together at a guest ranch in Montana for a wedding, where they must team up again to stop a domestic terrorist cell.
