About This Book
He's a hardheaded Texas Ranger who follows the rules.
She's a ditzy beauty queen who enjoys breaking them.
When they join forces to solve a crime, Lone Star sparks will fly.
Lawman Lincoln Hayes is back in Simple, Texas, to repay a debt. As a delinquent youth, Lincoln was on a fast-track to prison, but the two old cowboys who ran the boys' ranch taught him good wins over evil, so Lincoln made damn sure he became the good guy—his way of making amends for a death he believes he should have prevented. Now the two old cowboys have gotten themselves tangled up in a missing person's case and Lincoln is going to prove their innocence come hell or high water. The last thing he has time for is babysitting some spoiled senator's daughter who has decided to play deputy Daisy Duke in designer boots and a tiara. But his boss makes it clear, if Lincoln ever wants a promotion, he'll do the senator's bidding and become Dixie's bodyguard...and guarding Dixie's body turns out to be much more than Lincoln bargained for.
Dixie Leigh Meriwether has absolutely zero interest in law enforcement. But when her father refuses to relinquish her inheritance until she goes to law school, Dixie goes on the offensive and becomes a small town deputy. Law school, law officer… close enough. At least close enough to drive her dad crazy and force him to give her the money so she can start her pageant consulting business. How to walk in heels without tripping, she knows. Fighting crime, not so much. But she has time on her side…that is until the town sheriff is put on leave for misconduct and Dixie is left in charge. Worse, a no-nonsense ranger is now sharing her office—a sexy ranger who doesn't fall for her sweet-as-Texas-tea charm. So Dixie sets out to prove she's not all ditzy glitter. She can do her job and do it well. But in the process, she'll discover that she loves protecting her little town...almost as much as she loves a certain Texas lawman.
When Dixie finds out Lincoln's interest in her is coerced by her father, she disappears faster than a plate of fresh baked cookies at a church picnic—falling right into the trap of a killer. Now it's Lincoln to the rescue. But can he get there in time and save the one woman who can heal his bad boy heart?
