The Stranger And Tessa Jones
STOP RIGHT THERE. DON'T COME ONE STEP CLOSER."
After being dumped by her boyfriend, Tessa wasn't taking nonsense from any man. But how could she turn away this injured stranger who'd stumbled onto her property in the middle of a blizzard? A man who didn't know who he was or how he'd ended up in the California Sierras…
He couldn't recall his name, but there was no mystery about his tender passion for the woman who'd saved his life. With no memory of the past—only recurring images of a Texas ranch—what could he offer Tessa? Just a life together, if she was willing to take a risk on the future, no matter where it led….

Good story. Poor Ash couldn't remember why he was in North California. He passed out in Tessa's yard. She was able to get him into her house. She cared for him while he recovered. He would see dreams but couldn't remember it when he woke.
One day, he remembers everything. His parents whisk him away. Now Tessa doesn't have a date to her Best Friend's wedding.

I had a hard time liking this book I just couldn't get past how out there it was. The hero is in a truck feeling terrible, not remembering anything like a foolish person refuses to go to the doctor and then finds himself collapsing in front of the heroine's house who he has just heard shouting on her ex-boyfriend.
When he comes to he's in her bed, where she took him, the phone is out and it is snowing and he tells her to call him Bill, he ex's name and I don't know somehow without knowing who he is, if he has someone in his past, they sleep together and then suddenly they are crazy for each other.
He remembers who he is and his psycho ex he broke up with, goes home to sort things out and HEA.
I just couldn't get past the whole premise
