Hollow Point Books in Order

Hollow Point is a romantic‑suspense series set in a town where the local police force and the community are tightly entwined—and trouble has a way of landing right on Main Street. Instead of military units or private contractors, these books center on cops, detectives, and the civilians whose lives intersect with theirs.

The series opens with Playing with Lies, a story about Vanessa Hale, a woman being stalked who turns to on‑again, off‑again flirtation and local detective Dalton Neary for help. What starts as a bodyguard arrangement morphs into something deeper as family secrets and long‑buried lies put Vanessa’s entire world at risk. Playing with Danger follows another couple whose meet‑cutes keep ending in pratfalls and spilled groceries until an escalating threat pulls them into a joint fight for survival.

Playing with Love deepens the small‑town feel, bringing in themes of found family, women’s communities that may or may not be what they seem, and the difficulty of trusting again after bad relationships. Playing With Forever rounds out the arc with a more mature love story between Evan Sanders, a devoted cop and single father, and Josie Lark, an independent woman with grown sons and her own baggage. Their romance unfolds alongside threats to the kids at Josie’s community center, forcing both of them to balance parental instincts with the pull of a late‑in‑life second chance.

Across all four books, Hollow Point itself becomes a character: a place with gossip and grudges, kindness and corruption, cozy cafés and ugly crimes. Cases often touch multiple families, and side characters drift from background comic relief to key players as danger rises.

If you are drawn to small‑town settings with real warmth, but you still want kidnappings, stalkers, and tense investigations in the mix, Hollow Point offers that blend—rooted in law enforcement rather than elite military units, but no less intense emotionally.
