ⓘ About Laura Scott
She wrote her very first teen novel at the age of thirteen and her first romance at seventeen. Obviously, neither manuscript was that good, but she never gave up and after finishing Graduate school she chose to take a bit of time for herself and get back to her writing. She works as a critical care nurse during the day in a busy level-one trauma center in Milwaukee, and spends any spare time writing and reading romance. Laura grew up reading faith based books by Grace Livingston Hill so writing for Love Inspired Suspense is quite a dream come true for her. In May of 2017, she received the Wisconsin Romance Writers Lifetime Achievement Award. “A Doctor’s Promise” is the first novel in the “Lifeline Air Rescue” series and was released in the year 2019.

? Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Laura Scott?
She wrote her very first teen novel at the age of thirteen and her first romance at seventeen. Obviously, neither manuscript was that good, but she never gave up and after finishing Graduate school she chose to take a bit of time for herself and get back to her writing. She works as a critical care nurse during the day in a busy level-one trauma center in Milwaukee, and spends any spare time writing and reading romance.
Which Laura Scott series should I start with?
The best place to start is the SWAT: Top Cops series, the earliest of Laura Scott's multi-book series: it opens with Undercover Cowboy (2013) and runs to 8 books across 2013–2016, ending with Mirror Image (2016). Laura Scott's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
How many books has Laura Scott written?
Laura Scott has 225 books catalogued in this guide, published between 2009 and 2027. 213 of them belong to 30 named series — the largest being the North Pole, Alaska series with 12 books — and 12 are standalone titles, collections or anthologies.
In what order should Laura Scott's series be read?
Read each series in publication order — the numbered entries in each series follow the year each book first appeared. Laura Scott's series do not depend on one another, so they can be started in any order; by start date they are SWAT: Top Cops (2013–2016, 8 books), Crystal Lake (2013–2020, 7 books) and Security Specialists Inc. (2014–2022, 4 books), plus 21 more.
How are Laura Scott's books organised into series?
This guide splits Laura Scott's 225 books into 30 named series and 12 titles that stand alone or appear only in collections: North Pole, Alaska (12 books, 2015–2016); Military K-9 Unit (10 books, 2018); Finnegan First Responders (9 books, 2023); Oath of Honor (9 books, 2024); Sullivan K9 Search and Rescue (9 books, 2025), plus 25 further series.
