Cronin's Key Books in Order

Cronin's Key is a paranormal adventure romance that starts in New York and quickly expands into a world of vampires, ancient legends, Egyptian history, and dangerous magic. The series should be read in order.

Alec MacAidan is an NYPD detective who has seen enough unexplained things to know the world is stranger than most people realize. Cronin is a powerful vampire Elder who has waited centuries for the man fate promised him, though he never expected that man to be human or carrying a police badge.

Their timing is terrible.

As Alec and Cronin learn what their bond means, trouble spreads through the vampire world. Rumors from Egypt point toward a threat tied to ancient powers, and Alec discovers that the history he learned in school barely scratches the surface of what is real.

The first three books follow their relationship alongside a larger, escalating conflict. The tone is fast-moving and sometimes deliberately over-the-top, with investigations, travel, supernatural allies, enemies, and a love story between two stubborn men.

Begin with Cronin's Key. Each installment builds on the lore, relationships, and danger of the one before it, so this is not a series that works well out of order.
