Keith Devers had finally made the leap from analyst to investigator only to be presented with a conflict of interest. Something didn't add up about Ashley. Was it her long scarlet hair or emerald-green eyes...? More than that, it was her maternal ferocity that made Keith break all the rules. Because with this inheritance came a more costly price.
But fleeing from danger could only get them so far from the one thing they couldn't escaperunaway passions.
Debra Webb was born in Scottsboro, Alabama, to parents who taught her that anything is possible if you want it badly enough. She loved telling stories and began writing at age nine. Growing up on a farm in rural Alabama provided the wide open spaces and fertile ground for her vivid imagination.
When she met and married the man of her dreams Debra put her writing aside and tried some other occupations, including door-to-door sales, various factories and restaurants, a day care center, a hospital and a department store. Shortly after the birth of her first daughter Debra's husband joined the military and she decided to go to college. Eventually the U.S. Army took them to Berlin, Germany, and Debra accepted a position as secretary in the commanding general's office. By 1985, they were back in the States, and her next major career move landed her at NASA in the Space Shuttle Program.
For more than a dozen years after returning to the States Debra and her family lived in a small Tennessee town where everyone knew everyone else. A few years after settling in Tennessee her second daughter was born. Though she hadn't written in nearly two decades, in 1996 Debra took up writing again. With the support of her family and God's blessing her dream of being published came true in March of 1999.
Debra's life has come full circle now. She and her family, along with their two dogs, have moved back home to Alabama. As a multi-published, best selling author Debra writes spine-tingling romantic suspense and sexy, high action women's fiction.
