The Bounty Hunters Books in Order

The Bounty Hunters series follows the King Family Agency, a professionally trained bounty-hunting business where dangerous assignments are simply part of the family routine. Lorie O'Clare combines romantic suspense with the lively complications of a close family that works together, worries together, and sometimes gets in one another's way.

The Kings do not chase easy cases. Their work brings them into contact with criminals, missing people, threats that have crossed state lines, and clients who may not be telling the whole truth. Every book gives a different member of the extended King circle a case that puts both their skill and their personal life under pressure.

The job is never just the job.

Play Dirty starts the series with Greg King, a bounty hunter whose wife, Haley, vanished years earlier after entering witness protection. Her return forces the family to confront a criminal threat and the hurt left by their separation. The later novels widen the focus to other Kings and agency associates, while keeping the same blend of action, family loyalty, and romance.

The main tension comes from people who are trained to handle risk but cannot control every part of their emotional lives. Old relationships, secrets, and professional boundaries become harder to manage when someone is in danger. The romantic pairings are usually tied to the central case, so the investigation and the relationship move forward together.

This is a contemporary series with a fast pace and a warm family center. The characters can be blunt, protective, and stubborn, but they are also deeply invested in one another. Their agency gives the books a practical framework for chases, surveillance, arrests, and rescue missions.

Start with Play Dirty for the clearest introduction to the King family and the agency. The books focus on new couples, but reading in order adds more weight to the returning characters, family history, and ongoing sense that the Kings will show up when one of their own needs help.
