The Hunted (Elle Kennedy) Books in Order

The Hunted is a compact military romantic suspense series built around political upheaval, covert operations, and a fictional Latin American nation called San Marquez. These books throw their characters into unstable territory fast, then keep turning the pressure up.

In Soldier Under Siege, Eva Dolce and Special Ops captain Robert Tate are bound together by revenge and by the threat hanging over Eva's child. Special Forces Rendezvous widens the crisis with a deadly virus and a conspiracy that could reach far beyond San Marquez. Special Ops Exclusive shifts toward a journalist and a mysterious operative trying to uncover the truth in the middle of public unrest and private danger.

This is not a quiet series.

The setting matters a lot. San Marquez is not just scenery. The conflict in the country shapes every decision the characters make, from who they can trust to whether they can stop long enough to admit what they feel. That gives the books a tense, urgent rhythm. The romances have to grow in motion, under fire, and often while one or both characters are hiding something important.

Kennedy keeps the stories readable by focusing on clear emotional stakes. These are not dense military thrillers. They are romantic suspense novels where missions, betrayals, government secrets, and survival all feed the central relationship. The heroes tend to be wary and highly trained. The heroines are not passengers. They push back, make choices, and carry just as much weight in the story.

If you like romantic suspense with jungle heat, cross-border danger, medical or political threats, and strong attraction that develops under pressure, The Hunted fits well. It also works nicely for readers who want a shorter Kennedy series with a clear order and a consistent high-stakes feel.

Everything in these books is moving, the plot, the danger, and the romance.
