The holidays bring painful memories for history professor and renowned linguist Marisa Thompson. Yet here they were again, just days after her return to Austin from her six-month sabbatical in the jungle west of the Yucatán.

Marisa never imagined she’d be tracked down by Lucas Cooper, the six-foot-five, Stetson-wearing Texas Ranger with whom she’d uncharacteristically had a one-night stand in Mexico.

He’s tried to keep things professional with Marisa—they both have—but now the stakes include their hearts, and a killer who wants the past to stay buried . . .
