Finding Books in Order

The Finding series is set in Dare, a small town in southwestern Montana that is equal parts rugged ranch country and close knit community. Sloane Kennedy uses Dare as a hub where drifters, ex cons, single fathers, and closeted cowboys crash into one another and slowly piece together lives that feel worth staying for.

Finding Home introduces the CB Bar Ranch and the tone of the series. Rhys, a former cop fresh out of prison after being betrayed by his partner and lover, just wants to serve out his parole and move on. Instead, he is pulled into a complicated triangle with Finn, the openly gay ranch hand who has been in love with his straight boss for years, and Callan, that boss, who has spent his life hiding who he really is. The book balances revenge and danger with the fragile hope that three men might be better together than apart.

In Finding Trust, Dane, a widowed veterinarian and single dad, moves to Dare after his estranged husband is murdered. He is determined to keep his head down and protect his infant daughter, but a favor for a friend lands him in the path of Jax, a former FBI agent passing through town to settle an old score. Their story is quieter in scale but still threaded with suspense as past enemies close in.

Finding Peace pairs Gray, a best selling crime novelist facing a life changing diagnosis, with Luke, an Army Ranger on the run from betrayal within his own unit. A chance roadside encounter brings Luke to Gray’s secluded cabin, and what begins as wary house sharing turns into something deeper as each man faces a future that looks nothing like what he had planned.

Finding Forgiveness steps partly outside Dare to follow Roman, a wealthy developer who intends to visit his estranged half brother briefly and close a business deal, and Hunter, a college student drowning in guilt after a single disastrous night. A violent encounter at a club throws them together and forces both men to confront the lies they have been living with.

Finally, Finding Hope brings several threads together in a poly romance between Quinn, a quiet horse trainer nursing the loss of his husband, Brody, a paramedic from a political family who has finally left the closet, and Beck, a young man whose childhood exploitation links back to characters in Kennedy’s Barretti Security books. It is one of the heaviest entries in terms of content, but it also shows just how far this chosen family is willing to go for one another.

Throughout the series, Dare feels like a living place. Locals show up across books, friendships deepen in the background, and the CB Bar Ranch serves as a physical home base for people who thought they were destined to wander forever. The tone mixes western romance elements with suspense and strong hurt/comfort, making Finding a natural fit for readers who like both cowboys and connected universes.
