How Heroes for Hire Began
Dale Mayer, a USA Today bestselling author known for her Psychic Visions and SEALs of Honor series, launched Heroes for Hire in 2017 as a spin-off from her SEALs of Honor world. Inspired by the rugged charm of Navy SEALs and her knack for crafting emotionally charged romances, Mayer created a series centered on former Special Forces operatives running a private security firm, Legendary Securities. Her goal? To blend heart-pounding action with intimate, character-driven love stories that resonate with readers.
Published through Valley Publishing Ltd., Heroes for Hire kicked off with Levi’s Legend, setting the tone for a series that balances standalone accessibility with a richly connected universe. Mayer’s ability to draw from real-world military themes while infusing her stories with passion and suspense has made the series a fan favorite.
The Heart of Heroes for Hire
The Heroes for Hire series, boasting 30 books and counting, follows ex-SEALs as they tackle dangerous missions and unexpected romances. Each novel introduces fresh characters while occasionally revisiting fan-favorite heroes. Standout titles include:
