Deputy Sheriff Nick Rogers found out small-town life meant adjusting to two things--gossips and Laney Cavanaugh.  And neither was much help in solving a bridal shower murder.

Some days it appeared like everyone in Whitehorse had a secret--including their new lawman.  And falling for Laney wasn't a good way to maintain a low profile.  Nick might have been new to Whitehorse, but he wasn't above getting his hands dirty. Even if everybody in Laney's family had it in for the victim, and they were fixing for a fight. Wedding bells were always trouble, and, unfortunately, trouble always had a way of hunting Nick down.

Kelly O'Donnell was anything but a damsel in distress.  But after her father's murder, she found herself struggling to save the family business. Of course she wanted answers.  But first she needed a champion, someone wealthy and experienced enough to help her succeed.  What she got was pure intrigue.

Reece Maddox was not about to jeopardize his cover as a special agent--or his mission to catch the killer.  So the notorious bad boy disguised himself as James Prince, Kelly's rich, sexy--and mysteriously unseen--partner.  A flawless plan, until he found himself falling in love with the very woman he'd pledged to protect.

This is the first book in the sensual and suspenseful Four Brothers of Colts Run Cross series.

Langston Collingsworth was a man to be reckoned with.  Powerful and president of the family oil business, opportunists looked at him and saw money, but he saw the land as his life force.

It happened innocently enough...a young girl needed his help.  But her mother was none other than Trish Edwards--Langston's high school sweetheart--the only woman he'd ever loved.  Could Langston trust Trish after the years of deception?  But then he had no choice.  No Collingsworth would ever turn his back on a woman in danger!
