The Case of the Mesmerizing Boss
by Diana Palmer

Dane Lassiter, former Texas Ranger and Branntville rancher, was the head of the Lassiter Agency, a group of crack Houston private detectives. Soul-scarred by love, he existed only for his work---until the night his assistant, Tess Meriweather, became the target of drug dealers. Dane vowed to keep her safe, no matter what the cost. But will their stormy past keep the gentle Tess from trusting Dane with her life...and her heart?

Originally published March 1992 in Silhouette Desire #702 in mass market paperback.
