How Kinncaid Brothers Began
Jaycee Clark, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, kicked off the Kinncaid Brothers series (also known as the Deadly series) in 2004 with a passion for weaving tales where ‘the girl gets her guy’—but not without a fight. Inspired by her love for complex characters and high-stakes drama, Clark created a saga centered on the Kinncaid family, led by patriarch Jock and his fiery love, Kaitlyn O’Reilly. Her vision? A series that balances raw emotion with edge-of-your-seat suspense, set against the haunting beauty of Colorado’s mountains.
Clark’s knack for crafting flawed, relatable characters shines through, making the Kinncaids a family readers root for. From the first novel, she established a tone that’s both seductive and sinister, earning her a loyal following and top spots on Amazon’s bestseller lists.
The Heart of Kinncaid Brothers
The series spans six novels, each spotlighting a Kinncaid brother or their parents, with stories that intertwine romance and danger. Deadly Shadows (2004) introduces Aiden Kinncaid, a CEO haunted by loss, who clashes with Jesslyn Black, a writer reeling from tragedy. Their chemistry sizzles as they hunt a killer stalking their town. In Deadly Ties (2011), Dr. Gavin Kinncaid butts heads with single mom Taylor Reese, but their fiery tension turns to love as a twisted foe threatens her son.
Deadly Obsession (2011), a fan-favorite, follows Christian Bills, who’s hiding from an abusive past, and Brayden Kinncaid, whose protective instincts kick into overdrive when her stalker resurfaces. The series wraps with Deadly Beginnings (2014), a prequel diving into Jock and Kaitlyn’s 1969 love story, where Kaitlyn escapes a controlling fiancé with Jock’s help. Themes of trust, resilience, and second chances weave through each book, set against a vivid Colorado backdrop that feels like a character itself.
Clark’s style is gripping yet accessible, with villains that chill and romances that warm the heart. Her pacing—though sometimes slow—builds tension masterfully, making each twist hit hard. Fans love the Kinncaids’ tight-knit bond, where family loyalty shines even in the darkest moments.
