In the New York Times-bestselling author's Western romantic thriller, a cowboy detective must protect a private investigator with a secret past. No one knows how Galveston PI Emma Langston wound up in the alley behind a suspicious bar in Dallas. Badly wounded and suffering from amnesia, her story is a complete mystery. But one thing is clear to Detective Ryder Palladin-someone wants Emma dead, and he's the only one who can help her. When Ryder brings Emma to his family ranch for protective custody, she might be safe from the men pursuing her, but she faces the risk of falling for the handsome cowboy. Before she can untangle her feelings for Ryder, Emma must recover her memory... because she's sure someone's life depends on it, even if she can't remember whose.
