Women of Power Books in Order

Women of Power moves away from Brooks's small-town setup and drops readers into a sharper, more corporate kind of romantic suspense. These books follow women from powerful families who are used to responsibility, public pressure, and the expectation that they should never blink first. That gives the series a different feel right from the start.

The central women here are Elle, Bree, Allegra, and Mallory. Each book follows one of them through a mix of professional stakes and personal danger. In Chosen for Power, the threat is aimed at a CEO and the business she built. Built for Power brings construction, sabotage, and mistaken identity into the picture. Fashioned for Power pulls in the fashion world and a shadowy threat. Destined for Power expands into politics and security, with an assassination plot hanging over everything.

These women know how to work.

That matters. Brooks writes them as smart, capable people who are already good at what they do before the romance arrives. They are not waiting for someone to rescue them from ordinary life. They are running companies, protecting projects, and making high-stakes decisions. The men around them may be helpful, protective, and sometimes very charming, but they are not the only source of action.

Because the setting is broader than Keeneston, the tension often comes from business rivalry, public image, politics, and the cost of being visible. The books still have Brooks's usual blend of suspense and romance, but the gloss is different. Instead of horse farms and town gossip, you get boardrooms, construction sites, fashion houses, private security, and backroom deals.

If you like Brooks best when she lets her heroines take charge, Women of Power is an easy recommendation. It is romantic suspense with money, ambition, and public pressure in the foreground, but it still keeps her trademark interest in trust, family, and choosing love without giving up your strength.
