Elle Kennedy, a New York Times bestselling author, launched the Out of Uniform series in 2008 with a vision to blend eroticism with the high-stakes world of military life. Growing up in Toronto, Kennedy always dreamed of writing, and her passion for storytelling shines through in this series.

Kennedy’s knack for creating vivid characters and palpable tension set the stage for a series that’s both playful and profound. Her background in English from York University and love for romance novels fueled her ability to write stories that resonate with readers seeking both heat and heart.
The Heart of Out of Uniform
The series kicks off with Heat of the Moment, where baker Shelby Harper sets out to prove to Navy SEAL John Garrett that she’s anything but “vanilla.” Their steamy encounter sets the tone for the series’ blend of humor and sensuality.

Whether it’s the thrill of a SEAL’s protective instincts or the slow burn of enemies-to-lovers, Out of Uniform delivers romance that’s both escapist and relatable. The series’ focus on camaraderie among the SEALs adds a layer of warmth, as characters reappear across books, creating a tight-knit community readers love.
