White Knights Books in Order

The White Knights books focus on an FBI Critical Incident Response Team built to handle major threats fast. The team includes experts in explosives, ballistics, cybercrime, profiling, negotiations, and forensics, and all of them come from military backgrounds. When they deploy, it is because the problem is serious and time is short.

That urgency shapes everything.

Even though only two books are in the series, the world feels bigger than that. Sleeman gives the impression of a full unit standing ready, with each story zooming in on one part of the team while the larger mission stays in view. The cases are pulled from headline-style threats, and the books carry a more national, task-force tone than her smaller-town series.

In Fatal Mistake, the threat comes from a bomber and the only known survivor of one of his attacks. In Kill Shot, experimental smart bullets move from defense development into deadly hands. Both stories lean into modern fear, technology, and the challenge of protecting one person while trying to stop a wider disaster.

What makes the books work is that the emotional stakes stay close even when the threats are broad. These are still romantic suspense novels, so the central pair has to navigate trust, attraction, and fear while handling a case that could turn fatal at any moment. The team backdrop adds weight without swallowing the personal story.

If you want Sleeman in a more national-security lane, with FBI task-force energy and fast, high-threat cases, White Knights is worth picking up. Start with Fatal Mistake, then move to Kill Shot.
