Tempting Tess — Joyce Adams

A DANGEROUS WOMAN
Attractive as she was, Tess Fontana was not going to ensnare Texas Ranger Zack Mackinzie in her seductive web. Not a woman who could also be a cold-blooded killer. Mackinzie had followed her father's traveling carnival to Virginia City after somebody -- and Tess was his number-one suspect -- murdered his brother. Now he was out for vengeance, and he wasn't going to let desire get in his way....

A DANGEROUS MAN
Known far and wide as `The Tempting Tess,' Tess performed with a celebrated magician in Fontana's Traveling Medicine Show. She knew at first glance that handsome Zack Mackinzie was trouble....bad trouble. Tess had been on the run with her father ever since he was falsely accused of murder seven years before. Now, it was happening all over again -- and this time she was the hunted. Somehow, she needed to outsmart Zack Mackinzie. But with the real killer also hot on her trail, and her attraction to Mackinzie overriding reason, she soon needed something else: Zack's help, his trust...and his hard-won love.
