How to Read the Copper Canyon Series

The best way to read the Copper Canyon series is in publication order, which also matches the chronological sequence of events. While each book features a standalone romance and a self-contained mystery, reading them in order allows you to see the growth of the foster brothers and better appreciate their shared history and the legacy of their late foster father, Hosteen Silver.

The Foster Brothers Connection

The core of the Copper Canyon series is the deep bond between the six foster brothers.

Each novel explores how these values guide them through life-threatening conspiracies and into the lives of the women they protect.

Authorship and Related Series

The Copper Canyon series was published under the Harlequin Intrigue imprint and is credited to Aimee Thurlo. Although she wrote these books solo, she frequently collaborated with her husband, David Thurlo, whose upbringing on the Navajo Reservation in Shiprock, New Mexico, brought deep authenticity to her Navajo characters and settings. If you enjoy the blend of suspense and Navajo culture in Copper Canyon, you may also want to explore their co-authored Ella Clah investigator series and the supernatural Lee Nez mysteries.
