About the Outlaws series

Outlaws is a darker, post-apocalyptic-adjacent Elle Kennedy trilogy set in a world where civilization has been decimated by war and men and women live on the edge of violence, survival, and desire. Claimed opens the trilogy in this dangerous new order, pairing survival instincts with a high-stakes romance. Addicted and Ruled continue the trilogy's escalating world of danger and desire, following new central couples navigating the same lawless landscape.

A significant departure from Kennedy's college-set contemporary romances, Outlaws leans fully into dystopian and romantic-suspense territory, aimed at readers who want grittier, higher-danger stakes alongside the central romance.
