Imperial Knights Books in Order

Imperial Knights mixes billionaire romance, bodyguard suspense, and fated-mate shifter energy. The key detail is right there in the setup for Saving Penny: the Imperial Knights are not a clan or a coven. They are a security empire, which gives the series a slightly glossier, more modern edge than Ariel Marie's small-town paranormal books.

Money and danger sit side by side here.

The central story follows Drake Ransley, the billionaire CEO of the company, a man who likes control and starts getting haunted by dreams about a brown coin that slowly becomes the image of a woman. That woman is Penny Berkey, a recent lottery winner whose massive payout has made her a target. With a stalker closing in and the police unable to solve the problem, she turns to the one team built to protect people at the highest level.

That is a very clean romance engine. Penny needs safety. Drake is wired to provide it. And the supernatural twist makes the connection more than professional, because his wolf recognizes her as his mate almost immediately. The result is a story that feels a little different from Ariel Marie's more lore-heavy series. The danger is grounded in stalking, surveillance, and modern threat management, even though the mate bond adds that familiar paranormal intensity.

The appeal of the series is the blend. Readers who like corporate power, private security, and alpha protectiveness get all of that, but the series never leaves the romance lane. It is still about emotional recognition, desire, and the question of whether being fiercely guarded can also become a kind of emotional risk.

Because the series begins with a single clear case, it also works well for readers who do not want a massive mythology to learn on day one. The world is contemporary, the stakes are immediate, and the paranormal element sharpens the chemistry instead of overwhelming the plot.

If you want Ariel Marie with suits, security details, and a mate bond that arrives right on cue, Imperial Knights is an easy place to start.
