Colton's Rogue Investigation/Protected by the Texas Rancher Whiddon, Karen and Bokal, Jennifer D.

Two Texas romances, one paperback. In *Colton's Rogue Investigation*, Karen Whiddon delivers small-town suspense where a by-the-book detective collides with a rogue PI chasing the same dangerous lead — sparks fly, tempers flare, and someone's hiding more than clues. Jennifer D. Bokal's *Protected by the Texas Rancher* pairs a woman on the run with a rancher who knows his land and his rifle — but protecting her might mean confronting the past he left behind. Both stories mix heat with high stakes: secrets in the dust, danger at the property line, and heroes who'd rather solve problems with their fists than their feelings. Perfect for fans of romantic suspense who like their cowboys capable and their mysteries personal.
