How Off The Grid: FBI Began
Barbara Freethy, a seasoned storyteller with over 75 novels, launched Off The Grid: FBI in 2017 with Perilous Trust. Inspired by her love for weaving romance with gripping suspense, Freethy created a series centered on FBI agents trained at Quantico, each facing personal and professional challenges. Her shift to self-publishing through Fog City Publishing in 2011 gave her the freedom to craft this dynamic series, which has since sold millions of copies worldwide. Freethy’s knack for emotional depth and surprising twists set the stage for a series that’s both thrilling and heartfelt.
The Heart of Off The Grid: FBI
The series kicks off with Perilous Trust, where Damon Wolfe and Sophie Parker reunite after a fateful night, only to face a deadly conspiracy following her FBI father’s cryptic death. Reckless Whisper follows Special Agent Bree Adams, whose hidden past resurfaces when a chilling encounter threatens her carefully built life. Desperate Play introduces undercover agent Wyatt Tanner, who grapples with his shadowed identity while protecting a woman with secrets of her own. Later, Fearless Pursuit dives into espionage as Maya Ashton and bartender Jax unravel a murder tied to a Russian movie star.
Off The Grid: FBI thrives on themes of trust, redemption, and resilience, set against backdrops of organized crime, terrorism, and betrayal. Freethy’s style balances fast-paced action with deep character development, making each agent’s personal journey as compelling as the mysteries they solve. The series’ standalone structure, with no cliffhangers, ensures every book is accessible, while an overarching mystery in the first five novels adds depth for dedicated readers.
