Addison Fox writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, paranormal romance, cowboy romance, and category romantic suspense. Her books are best read by series, because she moves between separate worlds rather than one continuous timeline.

The best first book depends on the genre you want. Start with Warrior Ascended for paranormal romance, Baby It’s Cold Outside for contemporary romance, The Paris Assignment for romantic suspense, or Renegade Reunion for her newest Harlequin suspense series.

The next confirmed Wyoming Warriors title is Renegade K-9 Reckoning, listed as Book 3 for 2026. Guarding Colton’s Son is also listed as a future 2027 Colton title, but it belongs to the Colton shared-world side rather than Wyoming Warriors.
