The Recommended Reading Order

Because the Coltons of Grave Gulch series is an interconnected, multi-author project set in the same small town, we highly recommend reading the books in their publication order. While each novel features a standalone romantic couple, the family secrets, recurring characters, and overarching suspense threads flow sequentially from one book to the next.
