Raw Talent Read online

  “You know,” she prompted, “with you on top.”

  A grin spread across his face. “I hope you have something other than a rocky hole in the ground in mind.”

  She walked backward, tugging him toward her bedroom. “I have this amazing bed with pink silk sheets.”

  “Pink?” he teased.

  She nodded. “It’s my one girlie fetish. I love sleek, pink sheets.”

  By the time they reached her bed they’d stripped off one another’s clothes. And seconds after that he was on top, right where she wanted him. She moaned with satisfaction. Loved the feel of his skin against hers. Adored the taste of his lips. But most of all she loved him.

  He pushed inside her, bonding them heart and soul, taking them both to a place that would forever be theirs.

  Complete happiness.

  About the Author

  At the age of nine, Debra began writing stories for the characters who lived in her too-vivid imagination. By 18 she had turned wife, mother, and career woman, leaving her writing behind. But those imaginary characters just wouldn’t go away.

  For the next 18 years she did everything from managing a Captain D’s seafood restaurant to holding an executive secretarial position at NASA, while the characters and their stories continued to traipse around inside her head. Eventually they just had to come out and Debra began the journey that would take her to where her heart had been all along—writing romance.

  Debra was born in Alabama, but now lives in Tennessee. Her journey, however, wasn’t a simple trek northward to the Volunteer state. First, Debra, her husband, and oldest daughter did a little traipsing of their own. From Texas to Berlin, Germany, Debra followed her husband’s military assignments. Finally landing in Tennessee, they had their second daughter and settled for the rest of their lives in a small community they fell in love with on sight.
