About this ebook
To Ellen Wagner, Spence Harrison was a hero.
He’d rescued her son from a tornado—and lost his own memory in the process. He could not remember who he was or how he got to the beautiful widow’s ranch. But amnesia was the least of his problems. The mob was looking for him, and Spence knew just by being with Ellen and her son he was putting them in danger. Still, resting on the quiet Texas ranch was simple compared to the danger circling them. When two shadowy enforcers came knocking at midnight, Ellen trusted her instincts and turned them away. Working the ranch and bonding with young Pete only deepened his dread of bringing violence to their door.
Between caring for her quarter horses and sharing quiet evenings in the farmhouse, Spence found himself falling for the courageous widow. Yet uncovering the truth about his past risked leading corrupt enemies straight to her doorstep.
Somehow he had to solve the mystery of his past…so that he could be free to love the woman who’d infiltrated his heart.
A wounded lawman hiding in plain sight, and a protective mother with everything to lose.

About the author
Dixie Browning, née Burrus was born September 9, 1930 in North Carolina. Browning considers herself foremost an artist. She studied and later taught art. She paints landscapes and seascapes in watercolor, and is listed in Who's Who in American Art. In 1975, Browning began writing a newspaper column on art. Shortly thereafter, she decided to try fiction. As she had recently begun reading romance novels, she attempted to recreate the pieces of the genre that appealed to her. This tactic worked, as in 1976, Avalon published her first two romances. She has since published over 100 category romance novels. She has been awarded a Romance Writers of America RITA Award, and been a five-time RITA finalist. She has also won three Maggies, and numerous awards from the National Federation of Press Women and the NC Press Club. At the end of 2004, after Browning had submitted yet another manuscript, she realized that writing was not as exciting for her as it had been. She began painting again, and now concentrates primarily on her art. Browning cofounded and served as the first president of The Watercolor Society of North Carolina. She is also a co-owner of Browning Artworks in Frisco, North Carolina. Her works include Driven to Distraction, Her Passionate Plan B, Her Man Upstairs, and Beckett's Convenient Bride.
