Cold Case Colton. Addison Fox
d="u523e5c18-0cad-58d9-9f31-4a8c0556b5b5">
The most shocking Colton family secret yet is revealed!
Claudia Colton has always felt different from her siblings. But the fashion designer doesn’t expect a PI with knowledge of her family to show up in her tiny Texas hometown. The tall, blond stranger on her doorstep announces Claudia might not be the daughter of criminal mastermind Livia Colton...but then who is she?
Widower Hawk Huntley, hot on the trail of a cold kidnapping case, is stopped dead in his tracks by Claudia. He vows to protect her in any way possible—heart, body, and soul—as they track down the truth of her identity. But will Claudia’s hidden past—and a gun-wielding stalker—change everything for Colton?
“I’ve only been here a few days, but it’s been long enough to know that anything Colton-related is hot gossip around town.”
Claudia sighed. “Sad truth. But still true all the same.”
“Hey.” He brushed several strands of hair behind her ear. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be insensitive.”
“It’s not insensitive when it’s the truth.”
“I’ll take that under advisement.” Hawk traced the shell of her ear before trailing a path down the column of her throat. “But right now I’d really like to kiss you.”
“I’d really like that, too.”
The last vestiges of fear that lingered at the afternoon’s events faded as Hawk lowered his lips to hers. With his body pressed to hers and the door at her back she should have felt claustrophobic.
Trapped.
She felt anything but as she wrapped her arms around his neck and clung.
Simply clung as the touch of his hands, the warmth of his body and the sheer power of his kiss carried her away from all the pain, trouble and confusion that was life in Shadow Creek.
