The Shadow Team Six Series in Order

About the Shadow Team Six series

Series Premise

The series centers on Shadow Team Six, a highly classified, elite private security/protection team made up of former special forces operators (Australian SASR or similar backgrounds) who take on dangerous, off-the-books missions—protecting high-profile clients, extracting people from threats, or handling threats too risky for official channels. Each book focuses on one member of the team as the hero who is assigned to protect a heroine in peril (often a witness, target of a crime syndicate, or someone fleeing danger). The stories blend intense bodyguard/protector romance with suspense: threats from organized crime, assassins, stalkers, or past enemies force the couple into close proximity, leading to attraction, trust-building, and high-stakes action while the hero confronts his own past trauma and the heroine fights for her safety and independence.

Main Characters

The series rotates heroes from Shadow Team Six (former special forces operatives), with strong heroines who challenge them:
> Sam Taberner (The Protector's Temptation, Book 1) — Former Special Forces soldier; stoic, protective, and haunted by his past.
> Cherry Brimble — Heroine in Book 1; witness in hiding; strong, resourceful, and defiant.
> Andy (Book 2: The Protector's Vow) — Team member; intense and loyal.
> Violet — Heroine in Book 2; enemies-to-lovers dynamic.
> Other team members — Heroes in later books (e.g., in The Protector's Heart, The Protector's Mistake, The Protector's Return); each is skilled, damaged, and fiercely protective.
> Heroines — Vary per book; often women in danger (witnesses, victims of crime, or those fleeing threats); resilient, independent, and key to the hero’s emotional growth.

Setting

Modern-day Australia (primarily Perth/Western Australia and surrounding areas), with occasional international elements:
> Urban Perth (city streets, safe houses, high-rise apartments).
> Remote outback/rural locations (ranches, wilderness, isolated properties).
> High-security or luxury venues (private estates, hotels) for protection jobs.
The atmosphere mixes Australian coastal/urban life with rugged, isolated danger zones — heat, vast landscapes, and the constant threat of pursuit.

Tone & Themes

Steamy, suspenseful, and emotionally intense — classic romantic suspense with high heat (explicit love scenes), alpha-male protectiveness, danger, and heartfelt connection. The tone is passionate and urgent, with strong "touch her and die" vibes, emotional scars (PTSD, betrayal, loss), and eventual healing/redemption. It balances gritty action (gunfights, chases, threats) with tender romance, banter, and hope—addictive and empowering for heroines, but with mature content (violence, trauma, explicit sex).

The series is popular for its high-heat romance, strong protector tropes, suspenseful action, and emotional depth — ideal for fans of romantic suspense with military/elite bodyguard heroes like those by Cynthia Eden or Jill Ramsower. It has mature content (violence, explicit sex, trauma).
