A K-9 cop must protect a single mom as USA TODAY bestselling author Marie Ferrarella introduces the new Coltons of Red Ridge miniseries
Carson Gage has a crime to solve—the murder of his brother—and his number-one suspect is his archenemy, Serena Colton. The Coltons and Gages have feuded for generations; Carson is convinced the cowgirl is hiding his prime suspect on her ranch. But the beauty and her baby stir unwelcome yearnings in his calloused heart. After all, Carson has learned the hard way what vulnerability can cost. When Serena and her child become targets of a mysterious assailant, Carson’s protective urges take over. Can an irresistible attraction prove stronger than old family hatreds and help them capture a criminal?
Serena mentally threw up her hands.
This was hopeless. Why did she even care if something was bothering this boorish man who had come stomping into her house, disrupting everyone without even displaying an iota of remorse that he was doing it? Never mind that her brother had led this invasion into her parents’ home. She felt better blaming the detective for this than blaming Finn.
“Never mind,” she told Carson, changing topics. “I have to see to my baby—if it’s all right with you,” she said, a mild touch of sarcasm breaking through.
Rather than say anything in response, Carson just waved her back to her quarters.
Serena’s voice was fairly dripping with ice as she said, “Thank you.”
With that she turned on her bare heel to walk back into her suite.
“Let’s go, Justice,” Carson said to the dog, steering the animal toward the stairs.
Keeping a tight hold on the dog’s leash, Carson walked out of the house quickly, a man doing his best to outrun memories too painful to coexist with.

He really did not have time for this.
Detective Carson Gage frowned as he drove down the darkened streets to The Pour House. He had more important things to do than attend his older brother Bo’s bachelor party at a second-rate dive bar in the sketchy part of town.
Hell, he would have rather stayed home and spent the evening talking to his K-9 unit partner, Justice. Granted it would have only been a one-way conversation, but the German shepherd was probably more intelligent than half the people who were going to be at the bachelor party anyway.
This whole thing was a joke, the Red Ridge police detective thought. Bo shouldn’t be getting married anyway, not to a woman who he’d only known for a total of three months. This was way too sudden.
