Faraday Books in Order

At the heart of the Faraday series lies a definition of family that has nothing to do with bloodlines and everything to do with survival. Selena Montgomery grounds these stories in the small, fictional town of Hallden, Georgia, a place that feels distinctively Southern—full of long memories and quiet secrets.

The focal point of the series is the Faraday Center. While the town sees it merely as a group home for troubled youth, for three specific women, it was a lifeline. Kell, Fin, and Julia arrived at the center with difficult histories and little hope. Under the roof of Eliza Faraday, the home’s fierce and devoted caretaker, they didn't just find a place to sleep. They found a mother figure who believed in them, and they found sisters in each other.

Years ago, these three friends made a pact to survive their circumstances. As adults, they have done much more than that. They have left the poverty and uncertainty of their childhoods behind to build impressive, high-powered careers far away from Hallden. They became the successful professionals Eliza always knew they could be, effectively burying the pain of their pasts under layers of accomplishment.

But the past has a way of calling them back.

The women are forced to return to Georgia when a new, dangerous threat looms over their childhood sanctuary. Eliza Faraday and her orphanage are targeted by a combination of legal scandals and physical danger, all tracing back to a shadowy criminal organization known as the Stark Group. The stakes are personal. If the women fail to act, the only real home they ever knew could be destroyed, and the woman who saved them could lose everything.

Montgomery balances this high-stakes suspense with her signature romantic tension. In each book, one of the "daughters" is paired with a law enforcement professional who is just as capable and headstrong as she is. These partnerships are rarely smooth sailing. The women are used to relying only on themselves, and they often view these men as obstacles rather than allies.

As the series progresses, the investigations force Kell, Fin, and Julia to lower their defenses. They have to navigate a complex web of corporate greed and local corruption while learning to trust their new partners.

Ultimately, the Faraday series is about more than just catching the bad guys. It is a story about the enduring power of sisterhood and the lengths we go to protect the people who saved us.
