The Coltons of Shadow Creek is an eleven-book romantic suspense series published in 2017, set in the small fictional Texas town of Shadow Creek. The series follows multiple members of the Colton family as they confront a shared threat while finding love. A central villain and family mystery run through all the books, giving the series a strong narrative thread that rewards reading them in order.
Colton’s Secret Son starts things off with a hero who discovers he has a child, and the tension builds from there through undercover operations, cold cases, and a pregnant cowboy romance. The Colton Marine and Colton K-9 Cop bring military and law-enforcement heroes into the mix, while Killer Colton Christmas adds a holiday setting to the suspense. The variety of hero types and romance tropes keeps each book feeling distinct even as the larger mystery pulls readers forward.
