Zach Collingsworth finally found the girl who could bring him to his knees… The Silver Spurs Ranch was hotly contested and highly coveted. And Kali Cooper had just inherited it, alongside a ton of trouble. Like any good neighbour – and true cowboy – Zach Collingsworth offered her his protection.
The devil-may-care scion of the Collingsworth empire, Zach was seriously sexy and far more trouble than Kali dreamed she could handle. Yet with an unsolved murder hanging over the town, arrogant-but-determined Zach wouldn’t leave Kali’s side.

About the author
Joanna Wayne
187 books59 followersReal name: Jo Ann Vest
Pseudonyms: Joanna Wayne.
Joanna Wayne began her professional writing career with the release of her first novel, DEEP IN THE BAYOU, in 1994, but Joanna will be the first to tell you that the wheels were set in motion years before. She started reading at four years of age, the same age that she began making weekly trips to the library to check out as many books as they’d let her have, only to finish reading them all before bedtime. That love of books never waned.
Joanna was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana and was the middle child of a large family. She moved to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1984 when she married her current husband. New Orleans opened up a whole new realm of activities and she found the mix of cultures, music, history, food and sultry southern classics along with her love of reading a natural impetus for beginning her writing career. It was there that she attended her first writing class and joined her first professional writing organization. From that point on, there was no looking back.
Now, forty published books later, Joanna has made a name for herself as being on the cutting edge of romantic suspense in both series and mainstream novels. She is known for the suspense and emotion she brings to the page, as she takes ordinary people and thrusts them into life-and-death situations. She has been on the Walden Bestselling List for romance and won many industry awards. She is a popular speaker at writing organizations and local community functions and has taught creative writing at the University of New Orleans Metropolitan College.
She currently resides in a small community forty miles north of Houston, Texas with her husband. Though she still has many family and emotional ties to Louisiana, she loves living in the Lone Star state.

I’m giving this 2 stars: 1 star because I picked it up from a little library, and the other star because it was so ridiculous it kept me intrigued

My favorite of the Colts Run Cross series so far (one book to go). Though I will say it had the least creative plot of the three I've read, but at the same time, it was the most readable. At least for me. And as seems to be the norm for Harlequin Intrigue these days, the romance felt a bit underdeveloped. There's not a whole lot of emotional depth, but I did like Kali and Zach together. There just wasn't enough space in the book to give them their due.
The only real issue I had with the book was some procedural stuff - like how quickly major crime scenes became non-crime scenes again. But it could be overlooked. So in the end, a good edition to the series.
And hey, for once, the summary on the back of the book fit the actual story!

Kali had just inherited the Silver spurs ranch. She has to live there a year before it will be hers. She arrived to the house one stormy night, opened the door, and found a bloody body! The Sheriff didn’t know if the murder was connected to the ranch or just random. Zach, the neighbor from down the road, stepped up to help, and protect Kali. This was a pleasant book, but was kind of slow in places.
