USA TODAY bestselling author Delores Fossen does it again, with a romantic
suspense book that forces a US Marshal to confront his past—and the woman who
might hold all the answers…
Can he help her recover her memory before they are both killed?
The only person who knows who killed Marshal Jack Slater’s father is Caroline Moser. But the Texas profiler has no memory of the murder, her abduction…or Jack. And her witness-protection safe house has just been compromised. Now in Jack’s protective custody, Caroline must trust her ex to help her recall her past before a murderer steals their future.

Excerpt,
HIS BRAND OF JUSTICE by Delores Fossen
“I nearly got Lucille and you
killed,” she said, and Caroline cursed her own voice. It was shaking, too.
Jack lifted an eyebrow. “Funny, I
thought it was the shooter who nearly killed us.”
“The shooter wouldn’t have been
firing those bullets if it hadn’t been for me.” She expected him to give her
some sugarcoated answer, but she’d obviously forgotten this was Jack.
“That’s true.” With that hanging in
the air, he waited a heartbeat. “And since I’d rather not have any more
attempted murders, that means you’re going to have to let me help you.”
“You mean I’m going to have to
trust Kellan,” Caroline blurted out. She was feeling a lot less shaky now.
Jack shrugged, took his hand from
his pocket so he could tap the badge on his belt. “Every lawman in Texas isn’t
tainted, and if you dig beneath all the anger, fear and whatever else it is
you’re feeling, you’ll remember that I’m the best shot you’ve got at keeping us
both alive.”
He followed that too logical
minilecture with a long stare. Jack was obviously waiting for her to come to
the only conclusion that she had right now.
“I’m not going to trust your
brother,” she insisted, but left the rest of it unspoken—that she would trust
Jack. Again, it was the only choice she had.
He nodded as if they’d just hashed
that out with a heated argument. “I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe.”
He paused. “Want me to take a bullet for you to prove it?”
Jack didn’t wink, but he might as
well have, because he was obviously trying to lighten things up. Trying to
bring her back down and ease some of the still raw adrenaline. It was working,
sort of, since it was something he’d said to her in jest when they’d been
lovers. A way of letting her know that he cared that much for her.
“No,” she said, drawing out the
one-word answer to emphasize it. There was a lot more emotion in her voice than
she wanted as she stared at him.
Thinking.
Remembering.
Yes, definitely remembering.
That helped more than his lame
attempt at cop humor. His being there helped, too, and despite everything she’d
been through—or maybe because of it—Caroline wanted to step right into his
arms. Those strong arms with their toned muscles. She wanted to feel the heat,
and the comfort that she’d gotten there before. Jack had tugged and pulled at
her in a way that no man ever had before.
