Anna Hackett Books in Order (Updated July 19, 2026)

Anna Hackett is an Australian romance author known for fast-moving romantic suspense, science-fiction romance, paranormal romance, and action-centered contemporary romance.

Her bibliography is large, but it is not one uninterrupted storyline. Most individual series can be read independently, while several share characters, settings, or a larger fictional universe.

The main continuity groups are:

1. Romantic suspense: Treasure Hunter Security, Team 52, Norcross Security, Sentinel Security, Unbroken Heroes, and Unsanctioned
2. Contemporary romance: Billionaire Heists, Fury Brothers, and Langston Hotels
3. Hell Squad universe: Hell Squad followed by Hunter Squad
4. Galactic Gladiators universe: Galactic Gladiators followed by House of Rone
5. Eon–Oronis universe: Eon Warriors followed by Oronis Knights
6. Phoenix Adventures universe: A separately connected space-treasure-hunting sequence currently being revised and expanded

Each romance generally resolves its featured couple’s story. Publication order still gives the clearest experience because characters make cameos, earlier couples reappear, and wider threats develop across several books.

The Reader’s Map

• Best romantic-suspense starting point: Undiscovered
• Best newer romantic-suspense starting point: The Investigator
• Best science-fiction starting point: Marcus
• Best alien-gladiator starting point: Gladiator
• Best lighter contemporary starting point: Fury
• Best short commitment: Stealing from Mr. Rich or Knightmaster

Readers do not need to combine every Anna Hackett book into one master order. Choose a genre lane, begin with its first series, and follow the numbered books from there.

Romantic Suspense Continuity

Anna Hackett’s romantic-suspense series are written as standalone-romance collections, but cameos and professional connections create a loose chronological path.

The most useful broad order is:

1. Treasure Hunter Security
2. Team 52
3. Norcross Security
4. Billionaire Heists after The Bodyguard
5. Sentinel Security
6. Unbroken Heroes
7. Unsanctioned

This sequence is recommended rather than mandatory.

Treasure Hunter Security Books in Order

Treasure Hunter Security follows former military specialists who protect archaeologists, expeditions, and dangerous searches for lost artifacts.

Every novel features a different couple and expedition. The continuing team relationships and recurring enemies make publication order worthwhile.

1. Undiscovered (2016): Archaeologist Layne Rush and former Navy SEAL Declan Ward are drawn into a dangerous desert expedition, establishing the security team and the series’ treasure-hunt structure.
2. Uncharted (2016): Callum Ward protects a woman whose search for adventure turns deadly, widening the series beyond its first archaeological mission.
3. Unexplored (2016): A perilous expedition forces Logan O’Connor to work closely with a woman caught in a high-risk search, continuing the team’s mixture of survival and romance.
4. Unfathomed (2017): A hunt for a historic shipwreck moves the action underwater, where treasure, betrayal, and attraction become equally difficult to escape.
5. Untraveled (2017): Hale Carter enters another remote expedition while confronting the emotional damage left by an earlier failed mission.
6. Unmapped (2017): Ronin Cooper’s guarded life is disrupted by an assignment that demands both his covert skills and his trust in the woman beside him.
7. Unidentified (2018): This collection brings together shorter Treasure Hunter Security stories and side romances rather than presenting one full-length central adventure.
8. Undetected (2018): FBI agent Alastair Burke and Darcy Ward become central as the long-running pursuit of the Collector pushes the series toward its concluding confrontation.

Treasure Hunter Security Box Set

Treasure Hunter Security Box Set (2016): This omnibus collects the first three novels and replaces those individual editions rather than adding a new story.

Can Treasure Hunter Security Be Read Out of Order?

The featured romances stand alone, but the expeditions gradually expose a larger criminal network.

Begin with Undiscovered if you want the team introductions and recurring threat to unfold naturally.

Team 52 Books in Order

Team 52 is a covert unit responsible for locating, containing, and protecting artifacts considered too dangerous for ordinary agencies.

The missions are individually resolved, but the classified program and recurring personnel form a clear sequence.

1. Mission: Her Protection (2018): Team 52’s first mission pairs a military protector with a woman connected to a dangerous artifact, establishing the unit’s secret purpose.
2. Mission: Her Rescue (2018): A recovery operation becomes a personal rescue, showing how quickly the team’s classified assignments can threaten its members’ relationships.
3. Mission: Her Security (2018): A security specialist must protect a woman targeted because of information tied to another high-risk artifact.
4. Mission: Her Defense (2019): The team faces a threat requiring both military force and scientific knowledge, expanding the scale of its operations.
5. Mission: Her Safety (2019): A new artifact investigation places another heroine in immediate danger and gives the team a more personal reason to stop the people pursuing it.
6. Mission: Her Freedom (2019): A rescue from captivity tests the unit’s reach while bringing one of its protectors into a relationship built under extreme pressure.
7. Mission: Her Shield (2020): A Team 52 operative becomes the primary defense between a woman and a threat that ordinary law enforcement cannot contain.
8. Mission: Her Justice (2020): The final numbered book combines a personal demand for justice with the team’s continuing responsibility to keep dangerous technology out of hostile hands.

Team 52 Box Set

Team 52 Box Set (2020): This collected edition packages existing Team 52 novels and does not continue the storyline beyond Mission: Her Justice.

Norcross Security Books in Order

Norcross Security follows Vander Norcross, his family, and a group of former military and intelligence specialists working in San Francisco.

This is one of Hackett’s strongest entry points for readers who prefer modern bodyguard, rescue, and protection stories.

1. The Investigator (2020): Former Delta Force soldier Saxon Buchanan investigates a dangerous situation surrounding Gia Norcross, introducing the company and the extended Norcross circle.
2. The Troubleshooter (2020): A specialist known for fixing impossible problems must protect a woman whose crisis reaches beyond what she can handle alone.
3. The Specialist (2021): Easton Norcross uses his military skills to shield Harlow Carlson when her father’s dangerous dealings place her directly in the line of fire.
4. The Bodyguard (2021): Norcross chief bodyguard Rome Nash takes responsibility for a high-risk client, creating the point after which the Billionaire Heists trilogy fits chronologically.
5. The Hacker (2021): Technology expert Ace Oliveira faces an unexpected pregnancy with helicopter pilot Maggie Lopez just as a series of attacks threatens her life.
6. The Powerbroker (2021): Company leader Vander Norcross moves into the central romance while a powerful enemy tests both his organization and his need to protect those closest to him.
7. The Detective (2022): A Norcross-connected detective becomes part of a dangerous investigation in which professional instincts and personal attachment can no longer be separated.
8. The Medic (2022): A woman beginning a new job at Norcross Security is drawn toward the team’s medic while danger disrupts her plan for a quiet new start.
9. The Protector (2022): Scarred former soldier Camden Morgan searches for abducted ballerina Saskia Hawke, bringing Norcross Security and Sentinel-linked characters into the same rescue.
10. Mr. & Mrs. Norcross (2024): Vander and his wife return in a shorter married-couple story that revisits the company’s central pair after their main romance.
11. Saving Mr. Norcross (2025): Brynn Norcross’s pregnancy news is interrupted by danger, turning a family milestone into another rescue involving the wider Norcross team.

Upcoming Norcross Security Novella

Untitled Norcross Security Novella: A further short entry has been announced, but its title, featured couple, and publication date were not confirmed as of July 19, 2026.

Where Do the Billionaire Heists Books Fit?

Place the Billionaire Heists trilogy after The Bodyguard.

It is still possible to read the trilogy independently, but this position preserves its Norcross connections and character appearances.

Billionaire Heists Books in Order

Billionaire Heists is a contemporary-romance trilogy involving wealthy New York businessmen and the women capable of outmaneuvering them.

It belongs loosely within the Norcross-era chronology but has a different, lighter first-person style.

1. Stealing from Mr. Rich (2021): A skilled thief targets a powerful billionaire, beginning a trilogy in which elaborate schemes repeatedly become personal.
2. Blackmailing Mr. Bossman (2021): A blackmail plan places another driven businessman against a woman holding dangerous leverage over him.
3. Hacking Mr. CEO (2021): A talented hacker challenges the final billionaire in the group, closing the trilogy through digital intrusion, corporate danger, and reluctant attraction.

The books feature separate couples, but their shared social group makes publication order the smoother option.

Sentinel Security Books in Order

Sentinel Security follows Killian Hawke and a team drawn from former military, CIA, and international law-enforcement backgrounds.

Each title uses an operative’s callsign. The cases stand alone, but the team grows across the series.

1. Wolf (2022): The first Sentinel operative takes on a protection mission that introduces Killian Hawke’s international security team.
2. Hades (2022): A dangerous assignment places another Sentinel specialist beside a woman who needs more than ordinary protection.
3. Striker (2022): A direct-action operative is forced to balance a fast-moving threat with feelings that complicate his mission.
4. Steel (2023): A controlled and highly capable protector faces a case that tests the emotional armor behind his callsign.
5. Excalibur (2023): The fifth mission combines international danger with a romance involving another specialist from Sentinel’s expanding network.
6. Hex (2023): A technically skilled operative becomes central when a modern threat demands intelligence work as much as physical protection.
7. Stone (2024): This novella gives a Sentinel-connected character a shorter romance after the six main novels have established the complete team.

Is Stone Optional?

Yes. Stone is a novella rather than a seventh full-length novel.

It is best read after Hex because it assumes familiarity with Sentinel Security and its established personnel.

Unbroken Heroes Books in Order

Unbroken Heroes centers on former military men carrying visible and invisible scars.

Each book gives a different hero and heroine a complete romantic-suspense story, while cameos tie the group together.

1. The Hero She Needs (2023): A former soldier becomes the only reliable protection for a woman in danger, setting the series’ focus on isolated veterans finding new purpose.
2. The Hero She Wants (2024): Another emotionally guarded veteran is pulled into a woman’s crisis and must decide whether protection can become partnership.
3. The Hero She Craves (2024): Desire and danger collide when a scarred protector can no longer keep his distance from the woman relying on him.
4. The Hero She Deserves (2024): A new threat forces another former military loner to confront whether he deserves the future his heroine offers.
5. The Hero She Loves (2025): The final published book completes the group’s romantic arc while returning attention to the bonds among the unbroken heroes.

The novels are accessible separately, but publication order makes the recurring friendships and completed relationships easier to follow.

Unsanctioned Books in Order

Unsanctioned follows retired assassins and mercenaries who have left their former lives behind, or tried to.

This series is darker in premise than Hackett’s security-team books, although every installment remains centered on a protective romance.

1. Burn the World Down (2025): A retired assassin returns to violence for the woman he cannot abandon, establishing the series’ world of former killers and unfinished enemies.
2. No Matter the Cost (2026): Assassin Lark Smith infiltrates Bastian Thorne’s life intending to destroy him, only to uncover a deeper threat connected to her own past.
3. Worth the Fight (2026): Former mercenary and retired assassin Cole Black, once known as Darkwolf, is forced to fight again when protecting one woman becomes more important than remaining free of his old life.
4. Untitled Unsanctioned Book 4: A fourth installment is planned, but no reliable title or release date had been announced by July 19, 2026.

Latest Anna Hackett Romantic-Suspense Book

As of July 19, 2026, Worth the Fight is the latest confirmed published entry in Anna Hackett’s romantic-suspense catalogue.

Contemporary Romance Series

These books reduce the military and science-fiction elements while keeping Hackett’s preference for decisive heroes, capable heroines, and external complications.

The Fury Brothers and Langston Hotels series are separate reading lanes.

Fury Brothers Books in Order

The Fury Brothers are men who met in foster care and became brothers by choice.

Their romantic stories stand alone, but the chosen-family bond develops continuously.

1. Fury (2023): The first foster brother’s romance establishes the group’s loyalty and its promise to protect anyone accepted into the family.
2. Keep (2023): A second Fury brother discovers that keeping emotional distance becomes impossible once the woman he wants needs his support.
3. Burn (2024): Another brother’s relationship develops against a more combustible conflict, continuing the family’s pattern of closing ranks around its own.
4. Take (2024): A forceful attraction tests one brother’s personal code while the wider Fury family remains involved.
5. Claim (2024): The fifth published romance reinforces the permanence of the brothers’ chosen family.
6. Protect: A further Fury Brothers book has been announced, but a final release date was not confirmed as of July 19, 2026.

Are the Fury Brothers Books Standalones?

Yes, each featured couple receives a complete ending.

Read them in order if you want to watch the family expand as earlier heroines and couples become part of the group.

Langston Hotels Books in Order

Langston Hotels follows a high-powered hotel executive team sent to Windward, Colorado, to transform a newly acquired property.

The continuing conflict between corporate plans and small-town loyalties connects the romances.

1. Night and Day (2025): The Langston team arrives in Windward, where the first city-versus-small-town conflict becomes a romance and establishes the hotel redevelopment storyline.
2. Before and After (2025): A second executive-local pairing explores the personal consequences of the project as Windward begins changing around them.
3. Never and Always (2026): Driven city professional Piper clashes with a laid-back mountain man who has no intention of leaving, sharpening the series’ contrast between ambition and belonging.
4. Untitled Langston Hotels Book 4: A fourth book is planned, but its title, central couple, and release date were not confirmed by July 19, 2026.

Hell Squad Universe

The Hell Squad universe begins after an alien invasion devastates Earth.

The original sequence follows survivor bases and military teams fighting the invaders. Hunter Squad takes place after the principal war and deals with creatures the aliens left behind.

Recommended Universe Order

1. Hell Squad
2. Hunter Squad

Do not begin with Hunter Squad if you want the full history of the invasion, the resistance, and the Steele family.

Hell Squad Books in Order

Hell Squad is Anna Hackett’s longest completed series.

Each book changes its romantic couple, but the military campaign continues across the sequence. Publication order matters more here than the standalone labels suggest.

1. Marcus (2015): Hell Squad commander Marcus Steele and communications officer Elle Milton lead the opening resistance mission, establishing the alien invasion and humanity’s surviving base.
2. Cruz (2015): Soldier Cruz Ramos becomes central as another survivor joins the dangerous campaign against the alien raptors.
3. Gabe (2015): Gabe Jackson’s romance develops during a mission that reveals more about the invaders and the risks faced by civilians outside the base.
4. Reed (2015): Reed MacKinnon protects scientist Natalya Vasin while her knowledge of alien technology becomes crucial to the resistance.
5. Roth (2015): Another battle-hardened soldier enters the foreground as Hell Squad’s missions grow more aggressive.
6. Noah (2015): Noah Kim’s story mixes a new romance with the increasing need to understand and counter alien weapons.
7. Shaw (2016): Shaw Baird becomes the featured soldier while the resistance confronts another dangerous stage of the occupation.
8. Holmes (2016): Hell Squad’s dependable sniper moves into the central role as a mission forces him to reconsider the emotional distance he has maintained.
9. Niko (2016): Niko Ivanov’s romance unfolds against a continuing search for weaknesses in the alien forces.
10. Finn (2016): Pilot Finn Erickson and drone specialist Lia Murphy compete, clash, and work together while trying to restore contact with other survivors.
11. Devlin (2016): A covert and dangerous operation places Devlin beside a woman who challenges his methods and his isolation.
12. Theron (2017): Theron Wade becomes central as the resistance faces another shift in alien tactics.
13. Hemi (2017): Hemi Rahia’s strength and loyalty are tested when a mission becomes inseparable from protecting the woman he loves.
14. Ash (2017): Ash Connors receives his romance while Hell Squad’s campaign moves closer to the heart of the invasion.
15. Levi (2018): Levi King joins a dangerous operation that expands the military response beyond the original team’s established missions.
16. Manu (2018): Manu Rahia’s story brings another member of the extended fighting force into focus as the alien conflict intensifies.
17. Griff (2019): Griff Callan’s romance develops while the survivors prepare for a later and more decisive phase of the war.
18. Dom (2019): Dom Santin faces a mission with both strategic and personal consequences as the resistance closes in on its larger objective.
19. Survivors (2020): This volume contains three novellas, Nate, Dak, and Alexander, showing how separate survivor groups endured the invasion beyond the main base.
20. Tane (2020): Tane Rahia’s book completes the principal Hell Squad sequence and brings the long-running war toward its final romantic and military resolution.

Hell Squad Box Set

Hell Squad Box Set (2016): The collection packages Marcus, Cruz, and Gabe and contains no additional numbered installment.

Can Hell Squad Be Read as Standalones?

The individual romances resolve within their books, but the invasion storyline does not reset.

Reading out of order can reveal which characters survived, which couples formed, where the resistance relocated, and how the alien war progressed.

Hunter Squad Books in Order

Hunter Squad continues the Hell Squad universe after humanity defeats the principal invasion.

Alien creatures remain in Earth’s forests, rivers, and swamps, creating a new kind of threat for Jameson Steele’s monster-hunting team.

1. Jameson (2025): Jameson Steele leads the new squad against alien creatures left on Earth, opening the postwar era and showing how humanity is rebuilding.
2. North (2025): A second hunter takes the lead as the team tracks another mutated threat beyond the relative safety of restored settlements.
3. Marc (2026): Marc becomes central during a new monster hunt that continues the squad’s work and the next generation of the Hell Squad world.

Should Hunter Squad Be Read After Hell Squad?

Yes.

The newer books explain their immediate missions, but they take place after the invasion and assume the survival and legacy of several Hell Squad characters.

Galactic Gladiators Universe

The Galactic Gladiators universe begins with human women abducted by alien slavers and taken to the desert world of Carthago.

The first series centers on the House of Galen. House of Rone then follows a separate group of cyborg gladiators within the same setting.

Correct Universe Order

1. Galactic Gladiators
2. House of Rone

House of Rone is not a reboot or alternate continuity.

Galactic Gladiators Books in Order

1. Gladiator (2016): Abducted Earth space marine Harper Adams enters the Kor Magna arena and allies with champion Raiden Tiago, establishing Carthago and the search for other human captives.
2. Warrior (2016): A second House of Galen fighter helps another abducted woman survive while the effort to recover the remaining humans continues.
3. Hero (2016): A disciplined gladiator becomes the central protector as the House of Galen’s rescue campaign expands.
4. Protector (2017): Madeline Cochran searches for another captive while a gladiator who understands family loss helps her navigate Carthago.
5. Champion (2017): One of the arena’s elite fighters takes the lead in a romance tied to the continuing struggle against the Thraxians.
6. Barbarian (2017): A powerful barbarian warrior and a human survivor form an alliance while the group pushes beyond the familiar arena setting.
7. Beast (2017): Vek, shaped by a lifetime in brutal fight rings, discovers that human survivor Mia can reach him when no one else can.
8. Rogue (2017): Information dealer Zhim becomes involved with another abducted woman as secrets and criminal networks replace the arena as the main danger.
9. Guardian (2018): Dayna Caplan works to recover the remaining human captives while a formidable guardian becomes determined to protect her.
10. Cyborg (2018): The story shifts toward Carthago’s cyborg gladiators, creating the clearest bridge into the later House of Rone series.
11. Imperator (2018): A powerful arena leader becomes the featured hero as the conflict surrounding the rescued humans nears its conclusion.
12. Hunter (2019): This collection contains two novellas and a short story set around the Galactic Gladiators world, providing additional romances after the main rescue arc.

Galactic Gladiators Box Sets

Galactic Gladiators Set: Books 1-3: Contains Gladiator, Warrior, and Hero.

Galactic Gladiators Set: Books 4-6: Contains Protector, Champion, and Barbarian.

Galactic Gladiators Set: Books 7-9: Contains Beast, Rogue, and Guardian.

Galactic Gladiators Set: Books 10-12: Contains Cyborg, Imperator, and Hunter.

Each set duplicates the corresponding individual books.

House of Rone Books in Order

House of Rone follows Imperator Magnus Rone and a group of cyborg gladiators rescuing abductees and confronting threats on Carthago.

Read it after Galactic Gladiators because its setting and supporting cast are already established.

1. Sentinel (2019): A House of Rone cyborg becomes the first central protector in the spin-off, introducing the group’s mission to rescue abducted humans.
2. Defender (2019): Another cyborg gladiator is forced to protect a woman whose situation is linked to the same criminal world threatening Carthago.
3. Centurion (2019): A disciplined fighter moves into the lead as the House of Rone continues searching for captives and enemies.
4. Paladin (2020): The fourth cyborg romance advances the rescue effort while showing a different response to identity, loyalty, and programmed control.
5. Guard (2020): This collection contains two novellas and one short story centered on House of Rone characters.
6. Weapons Master (2020): The House’s weapons specialist faces a woman who repeatedly disrupts his controlled world, closing the published spin-off sequence.

Eon-Oronis Universe

Eon Warriors and Oronis Knights occupy a shared science-fiction setting.

Eon Warriors should be read first because it establishes the wider political landscape and alien conflict framing this part of Hackett’s catalogue.

Eon Warriors Books in Order

Eon Warriors begins when insectoid aliens threaten Earth and three human sisters are pushed into desperate missions involving the powerful Eon.

1. Edge of Eon (2018): Eve Traynor is sent to abduct Eon war commander Davion Thann-Eon, opening the human-Eon alliance against a common enemy.
2. Touch of Eon (2019): The second Traynor sister enters another dangerous mission as distrust between Earth and the Eon begins giving way to cooperation.
3. Heart of Eon (2019): The third sister’s story completes the opening family arc while the insectoid threat develops into a wider war.
4. Kiss of Eon (2019): A new couple takes the lead as the alliance faces fresh danger beyond the original sisters’ missions.
5. Mark of Eon (2019): Another Eon warrior confronts both a personal bond and a military threat tied to the continuing conflict.
6. Claim of Eon (2020): The sixth romance advances the fight while exploring another part of Eon culture and command.
7. Storm of Eon (2021): A more volatile stage of the war places a new pair at the center of a mission with consequences for both worlds.
8. Soul of Eon (2021): The series turns toward its final emotional and strategic conflicts as another warrior forms an unexpected bond.
9. King of Eon (2021): The ninth book brings Eon leadership into the central romance and closes the principal series arc.

Oronis Knights Books in Order

The Oronis Knights protect their planet, their people, and their knightqueen.

Their trilogy follows a single escalating conflict, so publication order is more important here than in many of Hackett’s couple-by-couple series.

1. Knightmaster (2023): The knightmaster begins the fight against a returning enemy, establishing Oronis and its highly trained protectors.
2. Knighthunter (2023): The search for the abducted knightqueen intensifies as another knight and heroine take responsibility for the next stage of the rescue.
3. Knightqueen (2024): The trilogy reaches its conclusion with the ruler herself at the center of the romance and final confrontation.

Can Oronis Knights Be Read Without Eon Warriors?

Yes, the trilogy introduces its own immediate conflict.

Reading Eon Warriors first provides broader knowledge of the universe and makes shared-world references easier to recognize.

Galactic Kings Books in Order

Galactic Kings follows alien warrior rulers resisting their violent father while protecting the women who arrive on their worlds.

The four books form a contained series separate from Galactic Gladiators and Eon Warriors.

1. Overlord (2021): The first warrior king meets a woman from Earth as rebellion against his father begins to reshape his planet and priorities.
2. Emperor (2022): A second ruler takes the central role while the family conflict expands across another world.
3. Captain of the Guard (2022): The focus shifts from a king to a trusted military commander whose romance becomes tied to the royal struggle.
4. Conqueror (2022): The final warrior faces the remaining conflict with the tyrannical father, completing the brothers’ shared rebellion.

The romances conclude separately, but the political conflict should be followed in order.

Phoenix Adventures Books in Order

Phoenix Adventures follows a family of galactic treasure hunters searching for lost Terran artifacts.

This series requires special care because the author is revising, repackaging, and expanding older material. The current numbering may differ from older retailer and database listings.

Current Official Phoenix Adventures Order

1. At Star’s End (originally 2014; revised edition 2026): An Earth scientist and a Phoenix treasure hunter begin the search for lost Terran technology, introducing the family’s adventure-driven universe.
2. In the Devil’s Nebula (originally 2014; revised edition 2026): Another dangerous artifact hunt moves into a hostile nebula and gives a new Phoenix-connected couple the lead.
3. On a Rogue Planet (originally 2014; revised edition 2026): Treasure hunting reaches an isolated world where a Phoenix cousin and a CenSec cyborg must work together.
4. In a Dangerous Orbit (originally 2014; revised edition 2026): A high-risk mission in space continues the family’s search for Terran relics and introduces another romance.
5. Beyond Galaxy’s Edge (2026): Captain Nissa Sander joins smuggler Justyn Phoenix on an expedition beyond familiar territory, marking an expansion of the revised sequence.
6. Return to Dark Earth (forthcoming 2026): The Phoenix family returns to humanity’s lost homeworld for an artifact mission connected to Earth’s dangerous past.
7. On a Barbarian World (forthcoming 2026): The treasure hunters travel to a warrior-dominated planet where the next artifact search becomes a survival mission.
8. Lost in Barbarian Space (forthcoming 2026): A new couple becomes stranded in dangerous territory while the Phoenix expedition continues.
9. Through Uncharted Space (forthcoming 2026): The family pushes into unexplored regions where lost technology and uncertain alliances create another high-risk adventure.
10. Crashed on an Ice World (forthcoming 2026): A crash on a frozen planet forces the featured couple to survive the environment before completing their mission.

Older Phoenix Adventures Placement

Among Galactic Ruins (2016): A prequel-style adventure set before the original numbered novels, best saved until after readers know the Phoenix family.

Beneath a Trojan Moon (2014): A shorter side romance that fits after On a Rogue Planet in the older sequence.

On a Cyborg Planet (2014): A side story involving a cyborg world and originally placed within the older reading order.

Because the series is being revised, availability and numbering of these shorter entries may change. Readers starting now should follow the current official editions rather than mixing them with older packages.

Important Phoenix Adventures Edition Warning

Older catalogues may assign different numbers or relationships to In a Dangerous Orbit and Beyond Galaxy’s Edge.

Check the description, copyright page, and included story before purchasing an older edition to avoid accidental duplication.

Anomaly Books in Order

The Anomaly books follow humans with extraordinary abilities trying to survive people who want to exploit them.

These are shorter science-fiction romance stories and form a separate continuity.

1. Time Thief (2014): A woman with an unusual relationship to time becomes part of a dangerous pursuit, establishing the existence of gifted anomalies.
2. Mind Raider (2014): Mental abilities drive the second romance as another anomaly faces enemies determined to control exceptional powers.
3. Salvation (2014): This bridging story adds another perspective to the anomaly world and belongs before the final installment.
4. Soul Stealer (2014): The concluding romance raises the emotional and physical consequences of extraordinary abilities.

Anomaly Series Box Set

Anomaly Series Box Set (2014): The collection gathers the existing Anomaly stories and does not add another sequel.

Ice Planet: Perma Books

Ice Planet: Perma is a small science-fiction romance setting rather than a long connected series.

Winter Fusion (2012): A mission on the frozen planet Perma combines environmental danger, scientific work, and a romance intense enough to challenge the heroine’s professional priorities.

A Galactic Holiday (2012): This multi-author holiday anthology includes connected science-fiction romance material but is not a second full-length Perma novel.

Warriors of the Wind Books in Order

Warriors of the Wind is a paranormal-romance novella sequence about elemental warriors and the Aurae women connected to them.

Older editions and collections may use alternate titles, so readers should check contents carefully.

1. Tempest (2009): The first elemental warrior meets a potential mate who may save him from becoming the same evil he hunts.
2. Storm & Seduction (2009): A second wind warrior’s romance develops as the ancient threat and search for the missing Aurae continue.
3. Fury & Darkness (2017): This collected continuation brings together additional wind-warrior material associated with earlier alternate titles.

Alternate Warriors of the Wind Titles

Wind Kissed, Fire Bound: Commonly associated with material collected or republished as Tempest.

Taken by the South Wind: An alternate title associated with Storm & Seduction.

Defying the North Wind and Claiming the East Wind: Earlier or component titles associated with material collected in Fury & Darkness.

These should not automatically be purchased as separate sequels without comparing their contents.

Nocturne Bites Novellas

Nocturne Bites is a group of short paranormal romances rather than one continuous plot.

The stories can be read independently.

1. Savage Dragon (2009): A dragon-centered paranormal romance places a dangerous supernatural protector beside the woman capable of challenging him.
2. Hunter’s Surrender (2010): A hunter’s mission becomes personal when supernatural danger and attraction leave little room for detachment.
3. One Night with the Wolf (2011): A werewolf romance turns a single dangerous encounter into a bond neither character expected.

These stories have appeared in collections and may be repackaged with work by other authors.

Collections and Omnibus Editions

Collected editions should be used in place of their contents, not inserted as new sequels.

Vampire Hunter (2013): A multi-author paranormal collection containing an Anna Hackett story rather than a standalone Anna Hackett novel.

Awakening the Dragon (2014): A multi-author collection containing dragon-romance material that may overlap with separately published shorter work.

Moonlight (2014): A multi-author anthology rather than part of one of Hackett’s numbered series.

Before purchasing any anthology, compare its table of contents with the individual novellas already in your library.

Anna Hackett Books in Chronological Order

There is no single chronological order for Anna Hackett’s complete bibliography.

Her romantic suspense, post-apocalyptic Earth stories, alien-gladiator books, Eon novels, and paranormal novellas occupy different continuities.

Chronological reading is useful only inside the connected groups.

Romantic Suspense Route

1. Treasure Hunter Security
2. Team 52
3. Norcross Security through The Bodyguard
4. Billionaire Heists
5. Finish Norcross Security
6. Sentinel Security
7. Unbroken Heroes
8. Unsanctioned

This route follows the broad cameo-based chronology. The exact placement matters less than staying in order within each individual series.

Hell Squad Route

1. Hell Squad
2. Hunter Squad

This order matters because Hunter Squad takes place after the invasion war.

Galactic Gladiators Route

1. Galactic Gladiators
2. House of Rone

This preserves the introduction of Carthago, the arena, and the cyborg gladiators.

Eon-Oronis Route

1. Eon Warriors
2. Oronis Knights

The second series introduces its own conflict but benefits from the larger universe established in Eon Warriors.

Phoenix Adventures Route

Use the current official numbering from At Star’s End onward.

Do not rely on older book numbers without checking whether you have an original or revised edition.

4. Begin Norcross Security
5. Insert Billionaire Heists after The Bodyguard

3. Begin Hunter Squad with Jameson

This order preserves the full alien-war timeline.

Route C: Alien Gladiators

Choose this route for interplanetary military conflict rather than arena combat.

This route is best for artifact hunts, lost Earth technology, and adventure-focused romances.

Route F: Contemporary Romance

Begin with one of the following:

• Fury for chosen-family romance
• Night and Day for a city-versus-small-town hotel series
• Stealing from Mr. Rich for billionaire romance with heist elements

These series are separate from the military and science-fiction continuities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Anna Hackett Book Should I Read First?

Begin with Undiscovered for romantic suspense.

Choose Marcus for post-apocalyptic science-fiction romance, Gladiator for alien-arena romance, or Fury for contemporary chosen-family romance.

Do Anna Hackett’s Books Need to Be Read in Order?

Within each series, yes.

Most couples receive complete romantic endings, but later books contain previous couples, team changes, family developments, and progress in the larger conflict.

Are All Anna Hackett Series Connected?

No.

Several romantic-suspense series share loose character or professional links. Hell Squad connects directly to Hunter Squad, Galactic Gladiators connects to House of Rone, and Eon Warriors connects to Oronis Knights.

Other series occupy separate worlds.

Are Treasure Hunter Security and Team 52 Connected?

They belong to the author’s broader romantic-suspense catalogue and have compatible adventure-and-artifact themes.

Readers should still treat them as separate named series, with Treasure Hunter Security read first in the broad recommended route.

Are Norcross Security and Sentinel Security Connected?

They share character and professional links, including connections surrounding the Hawke family.

Complete Norcross Security before Sentinel Security for the smoothest introductions.

Where Does Billionaire Heists Fit?

Place it after The Bodyguard, Norcross Security book four.

The trilogy can be read independently, but that placement preserves its cameos and social connections.

Is Hunter Squad a Sequel to Hell Squad?

Yes.

Hunter Squad takes place after the main alien invasion and follows a later team hunting creatures left behind on Earth.

Is House of Rone Part of Galactic Gladiators?

Yes.

It is a spin-off set in Carthago and follows cyborg gladiators introduced through the earlier series.

Are Eon Warriors and Oronis Knights Connected?

Yes.

They share a science-fiction universe. Eon Warriors should be read first for the complete political and military background.

Why Are Phoenix Adventures Lists Different?

The series has been revised, repackaged, and expanded.

Older editions, side novellas, and current official numbering do not always match. Compare titles, descriptions, and copyright information before purchasing.

Are Anna Hackett’s Box Sets Extra Books?

No.

They package previously published novels or novellas. Use a box set instead of its contents, not after them.

What Is Anna Hackett’s Longest Series?

Hell Squad is her longest completed sequence, with nineteen main numbered releases plus the Survivors collection in the twenty-book order.

Are the Novellas Necessary?

Usually not.

Novellas and collections add side romances or character updates, but most are optional for understanding the principal series plot.

What Is Anna Hackett’s Latest Romantic-Suspense Series?

Unsanctioned is her newest dark romantic-suspense sequence.

It follows retired assassins and mercenaries dealing with unfinished enemies and relationships strong enough to pull them back into violence.

Conclusion

The best general starting point for Anna Hackett is Undiscovered, the first Treasure Hunter Security novel. Continue through Team 52 and Norcross Security when you want the broadest romantic-suspense experience.

Science-fiction readers should choose a universe rather than publication order. Begin with Marcus before Hunter Squad, Gladiator before House of Rone, or Edge of Eon before Oronis Knights.

Readers interested in the revised Phoenix Adventures books should follow the current edition order and check older titles carefully for overlap.

The most important rule is to keep connected universes together while leaving unrelated genres separate. Anna Hackett’s couples usually receive complete endings, but the teams, wars, rescues, and shared-world developments reward readers who follow each series from its beginning.
