Catch up with the crime-fighting Coltons!
Witnessing a murder plunges Nina Owens into nerve-shattering danger. Police chief Flint Colton is sure the perp is taking down witnesses, so the handsome cop orders Nina into protective custody…in his home! And while she’s grateful to him, Nina just can’t shake her deep distrust of police. But all that falls away when Flint’s scintillating kiss awakens something deep within her.
As Thanksgiving approaches with Dead River quarantined, the search for a missing child puts Nina and the killer on a collision course. She knows Flint is haunted by a past failure to save a witness…and that he’ll put himself in the line of fire before he ever lets her down.
Pink panties.
Hot-pink panties.
He’d gone into the store on high alert, hovering near Nina and watching to make sure that nobody else got close to her.
What he hadn’t realized was that shopping with a woman could be such an intimate experience. He’d been fine as she’d grabbed several T-shirts and sweatshirts, some jogging pants and a nightshirt. His close presence next to her had felt a little more intrusive as she’d shopped for toiletries.
He’d finally managed to snap himself back into professional mode when she’d headed to the intimates section. It was when she tossed that single pair of hot-pink panties in the cart that his head once again went a little wonky.
Nina was the witness to a vicious crime and a victim of arson. She was here to be in his protective custody, not to be an object of his sexual fantasies. Speaking of protective custody, he pulled himself off the bed, grabbed his gun and went in search of his houseguest.
Chief of police Flint Colton has his hands full in the small town of Dead River, Wyoming: two fugitives on the loose, a missing heirloom ring and a beloved grandmother deathly ill from a mysterious virus that has the town shut down by the CDC.
When pretty Nina Owens, the owner of the local diner, witnesses a murder and then has her house burned down, Flint further complicates his life and takes her into his home under protective custody.
Flint is a traditional man who wants a wife and a family, while Nina has decided long ago that she wants to live her life alone. It doesn’t take Flint long to realize Nina is the woman he wants. Now all he has to do is convince her that they belong together.
Her Colton Lawman is filled not only with exciting danger and sizzling desire, but also with the growing love of two people with wounded hearts that must heal in order to embrace that love.
I hope you enjoy!
