How Crimson Colorado Began
Michelle Major, a Colorado resident with a journalism degree and a passion for romance, dreamed up Crimson Colorado after falling in love with the state’s majestic mountains. Her time working on a ranch sparked the idea for a series rooted in real-life struggles and triumphs. Launched in 2014 with A Kiss on Crimson Ranch, the series reflects Major’s knack for weaving hope and humor into stories of second chances.
Inspired by her own journey westward and authors like Julia Quinn, Major crafted Crimson as a place where characters heal and grow. Her goal? To create modern love stories that feel authentic, with a sprinkle of small-town meddling and a whole lot of heart.
The Heart of Crimson Colorado
The series kicks off with A Kiss on Crimson Ranch, where ex-child star Sara Wellens inherits a crumbling ranch and tangles with single dad Josh Travers. Sparks fly as they navigate their pasts and a shared future. Then there’s A Second Chance at Crimson Ranch, following Olivia Wilder as she rebuilds her life—and a community center—with help from a younger, blue-eyed hunk, Logan Travers.
Christmas on Crimson Mountain brings holiday cheer as April Sanders and brooding writer Connor Pierce bond over grief and two orphaned girls, while Coming Home to Crimson sees Sienna Pierce fleeing a cheating fiancé to find unexpected love with Sheriff Cole Bennett. Themes of redemption, family, and resilience shine through, all wrapped in Major’s vivid descriptions of Crimson’s snowy peaks and cozy streets.
What sets this series apart? It’s the mature, flawed protagonists—think bakers, forest rangers, and CEOs—who stumble, grow, and fall in love. The small-town setting isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a character, with nosy neighbors and tight-knit bonds driving the drama and the romance.
