About The Hunted

The Hunted is an early Elle Kennedy military-suspense trilogy pairing elite special-operations soldiers with women who get pulled into their dangerous missions. Soldier Under Siege opens the run, followed by Special Forces Rendezvous and Special Ops Exclusive, each centering a different operator and a fresh threat -- kidnapping plots, undercover missions, and enemies closing in -- alongside the central romance.

Written during the same early-2010s stretch of Kennedy's career as her Killer Instincts and Out of Uniform books, The Hunted sits squarely in the military romantic-suspense lane she worked before her college-sports New Adult books (Off-Campus, Briar U) became her signature. Each book follows a new couple and reads as a standalone.
