How Texas Trilogy Began
Kat Martin, a seasoned storyteller with over seventy-five novels to her name, drew inspiration for the Texas Trilogy from the vast, untamed spirit of Texas. A graduate of the University of California with a passion for history and anthropology, Martin has always been drawn to settings rich with character. She envisioned a series that captured the Lone Star State’s gritty charm and complex dynamics, launching the trilogy in 2017 with Beyond Reason. Her goal was to craft standalone stories linked by blood and circumstance, featuring strong men navigating love and danger.
The Heart of Texas Trilogy
The Texas Trilogy comprises three gripping novels: Beyond Reason (2017), Beyond Danger (2018), and Beyond Control (2018). In Beyond Reason, Carly Drake fights to save her late grandfather’s struggling Drake Trucking company, teaming up with magnetic millionaire Lincoln Cain to unravel a web of murder and smuggling. Beyond Danger follows Beau Reese, a former playboy entangled in a murder mystery involving his senator father, with private investigator Cassidy Jones by his side. Beyond Control introduces Victoria Langford, a single mother on the run from an abusive ex, finding refuge and romance with ex-Marine Josh Cain at Iron River Ranch.
Martin’s series is a love letter to Texas, with settings spanning dusty small towns to sprawling ranches. Themes of redemption, resilience, and trust pulse through each story, as characters confront past traumas and present dangers. The steamy chemistry between protagonists, paired with fast-paced plots involving shootouts, conspiracies, and betrayals, creates a signature style that balances heart and adrenaline. Martin’s knack for crafting strong, relatable heroines—like Carly’s determination or Tory’s courage—sets the trilogy apart in the romantic suspense genre.
Why Texas Trilogy Resonates
The Texas Trilogy has carved a special place in the hearts of romantic suspense fans, with over seventeen million of Martin’s books in print worldwide. Readers praise the series for its riveting action, well-developed characters, and emotional depth, often losing sleep over its twists and turns.
