The Coltons of Texas is one of the largest entries in the Harlequin Colton franchise, stretching across 27 books published from 1999 to 2016. The series covers nearly two decades of the Texas Colton family’s stories, starting with late-1990s titles like The Baby Pursuit and Expecting… In Texas and continuing through a major 2016 arc that includes Colton Copycat Killer and Colton Christmas Protector. The earlier and later books can be read somewhat independently, though they share the same family tree.

The 1999-2000 entries are classic Harlequin fare with cowboy heroes, secret babies, and marriage-of-convenience plots. Shotgun Vows, Corporate Daddy, and Snowbound Cinderella are typical of this era’s tone. The 2016 books shift into darker territory with a copycat killer threatening the family, and titles like Colton’s Texas Stakeout and High-Stakes Colton raise the suspense level considerably. With ranchers, agents, and brides scattered across the full run, this series gives a thorough look at one of Harlequin’s most enduring fictional families.
