by Linda O Johnston

Deputy sheriff Casey Colton expects cattle rustler trouble, not a corpse and a killer on his trail. Ranch hand Melody Hayworth insists on helping, and together they end up squarely in the line of fire.
Colton 911 books in chronological order
Series background & context
Colton 911 is one of the more overtly emergency-themed Colton mini-series. The name promises pressure right away, and that is what the stories deliver. These books revolve around immediate threats, protective roles, and the kind of cases that can turn deadly with almost no warning.
Linda O Johnston's entry, Caught in the Crossfire, fits that structure cleanly. A Colton hero is already working a local case when things escalate, and once a civilian woman is drawn in, both the romantic and physical stakes rise at the same time.
That is a very Colton move.
The larger family connection gives the series continuity, but the pace comes from the emergency angle. Law enforcement, witnesses, local crime, and sudden danger all matter here. The books are built to move quickly, and the romance has to keep up with the plot instead of stopping it.
If you want a Colton subseries with a sharper action edge and a strong protection theme, Colton 911 is easy to pick up. You get the family name, the suspense machinery, and a setting where nobody gets to stay on the sidelines for long.
