MERCY'S RESCUE
by Debra

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Fighting
for his life after an ambush, Sheriff Josh Wellman awakes to find himself
looking into the eyes of a real-life angel of mercy. Despite his groggy
condition, he knows his life has changed the instant their hands touch.
Devastating heartbreak
has left Mercy Smith's faith in tatters, her heart guarded against more loss.
Her dedication to the air evac trauma team she leads has insulated her from the
realities of the earth below, so now Josh faces the biggest challenge of his
life.
Can he find a way
around the walls that fortify her heart and convince this angel to stay on the
ground with him? Can Mercy open herself to life again and find a way to restore
her faith in God ... as well as love?

EXCERPT:
“Three minutes out. Descent begins in one.” The pilot’s
voice crackled through the headset as he tossed a look over his shoulder to
Mercy, strapped into the jump seat. She responded with a quick thumbs-up. “The
scene is secured,” he added. “We’re in and out fast. There’s only one to
transport.”
A dull, leaden weight sank to the pit of her stomach. Mercy
Smith knew his words meant the other injured person had died before their
arrival.
“We can’t save them all, Mercy.” Paul Robards, the second
medic onboard who was seated across from her, responded to the shadowed look
that crossed her face. “Some things are out of our control.”
“That’s true. I just wish we had the chance to try.” She’d
served four years in the trauma-one unit on the ground before accepting the
promotion to join the air evac as team leader, so she was a realist. She knew
they would lose some of the patients they were called to assist, but that never
stopped the feeling of defeat when they lost someone before they could
intervene and attempt to save them. Mercy used to tell herself that everything
was in God’s hands. She didn’t delude herself with that platitude any longer.
The only hands she could count on were the two folded in her lap. She just
needed the opportunity to try.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Born and raised
in the Lone Star state of Texas, Debra grew up among horses, cowboys, wide open
spaces, and real Texas Rangers. Pride in
her state and ancestry knows no bounds and it is these heroes and heroines she
loves to write about the most. She also
draws upon a variety of life experiences including working with abused
children, caring for baby animals at a major zoo, and owning a wedding planning
business (ah, romance!).
Debra’s real
pride and joys, however, are her son, an aspiring film actor, and a daughter
with aspirations to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation. (more story
ideas!) When she isn’t busy writing
about tall Texans and feisty heroines, she can be found cheering on her Texas
Tech Red Raiders, or heading off on another cruise adventure. She read her first romance...Janet Dailey's
Fiesta San Antonio, over thirty years ago and became hooked on the genre.
Writing contemporary western romances,
is both her passion and dream come true, and she hopes her books will
bring smiles...and sighs... to all who believe in happily-ever-after’s.
The Seymour
Agency represents Debra and she is soon to have two contemporary romances
published by Spencer Hill/Tulip Romance and Astraea Press. Debra invites you to
