Linda Castillo’s High Country Heroes is a three-book romantic suspense series published in 2001 and 2002. The trilogy features heroes working in law enforcement and rescue services in the Colorado mountains, with each book pairing a different couple against a backdrop of danger and adventure. A Hero To Hold starts the series, followed by Just A Little Bit Dangerous and A Cry in the Night.
Castillo is best known for her later Kate Burkholder mystery series set in Amish country, but the High Country Heroes books show her earlier work in the romantic suspense genre. The series was published under the Harlequin Intrigue line, and the books combine the tight pacing of thriller fiction with the emotional focus of romance. The mountain setting gives all three books a sense of isolation and natural danger that raises the stakes for both the mysteries and the relationships.
