Takeback Books in Order

Takeback is one of Riley Edwards’ most intense series, built around an off‑the‑books task force made up of military contractors and US Marshals. Their mission is brutally clear: find the people who have been taken—by traffickers, cartels, domestic abusers, and organized crime—and bring them home, whatever it costs.

The series opens with Dangerous Love, where a seasoned operator reunites with the woman he never forgot during a rescue mission and discovers she is hiding a life‑changing secret. Later books push the emotional and physical stakes even higher. Dangerous Rescue turns a fourteen‑year phone friendship into a real‑world partnership when a bookstore owner and the man she has only known by voice are pulled into a child‑trafficking case. Dangerous Games pairs a jaded former SEAL with a baker on the edge of losing everything, forcing both to gamble on trust when a financial scam escalates into lethal danger.

As the series goes on, Takeback’s work exposes deeper networks. Dangerous Encounter digs into a sex club tied to missing women, while Dangerous Mind brings back a hero’s long‑ago summer love, now armed with intel on a trafficking ring and determined to help take it down even at great personal risk. Dangerous Hearts adds an outlaw‑motorcycle‑club princess who marries a stranger to escape her father’s control, only to find herself targeted again, and Dangerous Affair wraps the arc in a one‑night‑stand‑turned‑friends‑to‑lovers story where a high‑powered protector has to decide how much he is willing to sacrifice to save the woman he never meant to keep.

Throughout, the Takeback team operates in the gray. They run undercover stings, stage extractions that skirt official channels, and rely heavily on their own moral compasses. The romances reflect that edge—full of obsession, fierce loyalty, and the question of how you build a future when your job shows you the darkest parts of the world.

If you are drawn to stories about survivors taking back control and the people who walk into hell beside them, Takeback offers a raw, propulsive ride.
