The Santos Brothers Books in Order

The Santos Brothers is a small corner of Byrd's paranormal work, but it has a strong hook right away. The series opens in Moonlight Bay, a coastal town that looks like a vacation spot until the supernatural danger starts closing in. In Wicked in Moonlight, Lainey Maxwell arrives pretending to be a tourist while she searches for her missing brother. That private mission puts her on a collision course with the town's darker side.

Nick Santos is the man who catches her when things go bad, and bad comes quickly. Werewolves are hunting, Lainey is suddenly in over her head, and an underground bunker becomes the kind of shelter that is only safe in relative terms. The book mixes beach-town atmosphere with a much more closed-in feeling once the danger really starts moving, which gives the romance a nice edge.

Nick is not just a helpful local, of course. The Santos name carries its own secrets, and the series premise clearly points toward a family of brothers whose lives are tied to the supernatural trouble around Moonlight Bay. That makes this page feel a little different from Byrd's longer series pages. Instead of offering a fully built-out saga from the start, it gives you the first hard shove into a dangerous world and lets the family intrigue do the rest.

The tone is steamy and tense, with less pack politics than Bloodrunners and a more concentrated, novella-sized burst of danger. If you like paranormal romance where the setting matters, the hero is dangerous in more than one way, and the first book feels like the opening act of something bigger, The Santos Brothers is an easy curiosity pick.

It is a short visit, but it leaves the door open.
