Tracy Dixon can't seem to clear her good name. This story starts off with her ending up at the police station and a suspect in a robbery in New York City. Then she must quickly travel back to her home town of Allerton (where she fled because of the gossips spreading "shady" stories about her). Her brother has been in an accident and is burned severely. The chief of police in Allerton is Leif Ericson, who has been assigned to watch her closely. Okay, that is just the rough sketch. Much more going on in the story and it is well worth the time spent to read this story! ( )

Tracy Dixon is a good person or is she? She moved from her small hometown of Allerton to New York City because of rumors her ex-fiance spread. Now they are questioning her about some jewels that were stolen. She then receives word that her brother has been in a very serious car accident. She heads back to Allerton and runs into Chief of police Leif Ericson. He decides to keep a close eye on her to see if she will lead him to her accomplice. Leif vows not to be fooled by a pretty face as he was in the past. His bad knee is a constant reminder. But the more time he spends with Tracy the picture of her being a thief just doesn't ring true. How will Tracy prove she's not guilty, earn back her good name and gain the trust, respect and perhaps love of one handsome police chief? This was new author to me but I thought she did a great job.
