One Tough Texan — Barb Han

Small-town Texas with high-stakes risks

Alice Green lives with ghosts. A rogue cop whose mistake led to the loss of a young girl's parents, Alice is haunted by the decisions that halted her sterling career. And now the same girl who lost her parents has been abducted. And Alice will stop at nothing to find her.

Joshua O'Brien doesn't want to tell his brothers -- fellow inheritors of his deceased parents' ranch -- that he has bigger plans. Applying to work for the FBI brings the possibility of an exciting and illustrious career. But when he meets Alice, whose beauty is only surpassed by her brain, it doesn't take long for things to heat up. And while helping her crack a case might save a life…it could also cost him his own.
