Blackburn's Defend and Protect series is off with a bang in Unknown Threat. This heart-racing romantic suspense is one for the keeper shelf! Don your tactical vests and get ready to engage a compelling story that will forbid you from abandoning its pages. Do. Not. Miss. This. One!

Unknown Threat is a fantastic read! An action-packed opening and sharply drawn characters drew me right in and held me captive. Blackburn has an exceptional gift for weaving twisting plots with characters that walk right off the page. I absolutely adore Faith, the bright and stalwart FBI special agent. I love the attention to detail regarding Secret Service operations. The swoon-worthy romance between Faith and Luke is the perfect slow burn. Unknown Threat is an exciting start to a thrilling new romantic-suspense series!Elizabeth GoddardAward-winning author of the Uncommon Justice series
In Unknown Threat, Lynn Blackburn has created a page-turning novel with all the elements I've come to love in her books. The hero and heroine are unique and compelling, while surrounded by a rich cast that adds depth to the story. The suspense thread is intense and pulses with energy and pressure. And the romance? It's perfection, with tension to keep me rooting for the characters. It's a perfect read for those who love engaging stories that are threaded with hope.Cara PutmanAward-wining author of Flight Risk and Imperfect Justice

Reading Order

Where Should I Start?

Here’s the good news: you can’t get this wrong. Every one of my books stands on its own, and every series stands on its own. Yes, a few characters wander over from one series to say hello in another — I can’t stop them, they’re a friendly bunch — but you’ll never be lost if you missed a cameo. So pick the series that sounds most like your kind of trouble and dive in.

My one recommendation? Within each series, read in publication order. That’s how the character relationships and small moments build best.

Dive Team Investigations

— my first series with Revell, complete

Underwater criminal investigators in Carrington, North Carolina — because some secrets don’t stay buried, even at the bottom of a lake.

#1 – Beneath the Surface

#2 – In Too Deep

#3 – One Final Breath

#3.5 – Unseen Enemy — a newsletter-exclusive novella that bridges the Dive Team and Defend and Protect worlds. (You could also call it Defend and Protect 0.5 — it counts for both!) Subscribe to my newsletter to read it free.

Defend and Protect

— my second series with Revell, complete

U.S. Secret Service agents who are experts at protecting everyone and everything…except for their own hearts.

#1 – Unknown Threat

#2 – Malicious Intent

#2.5 – Deadly Objective — a novella, part of the Targeted collection
#2.75 – Out of Time — an independently published novella

#3 Under Fire

Gossamer Falls

— my most recent series, complete

Welcome to a small town tucked into the North Carolina mountains, where the Quinn family will adopt you whether you like it or not.

#1 – Never Fall Again
#1.5 – Downfall — a novella, part of the Cornered collection

#2 – Break My Fall

#3 – Last to Fall

Everett Hollow

— coming soon!

Just down the mountain from Gossamer Falls lies a holler where everybody knows your name, your business, and your grandmother’s biscuit recipe. The first book, Stay With Me, is on its way — sign up for my newsletter and you’ll be the first to know when you can visit.

My Love Inspired Suspense Books

My first two published books! These are shorter reads, can be enjoyed in either order, and are completely separate from my Revell books — no cameos, no connections, just fast-paced suspense.

I have a few additional stories that are free to newsletter subscribers. If you’re interested in reading them, you can click here to go to the subscription page.

First Kiss – A Dive Team Investigations Story – is a short prequel story that takes place prior to the events of Beneath the Surface. This story centers around Gabe and Anissa and their complicated history. You can read this at anytime, and there’s an argument to be made for reading it after either Beneath the Surface or In Too Deep, but I recommend reading it after One Final Breath.

Almost Too Late – A Dive Team Investigations Flash Fiction – is a super short story about Leigh Weston’s best friend, Keri. Best read after reading Beneath the Surface.
