Suspense | Romance Suspense

Clint Austin is a free man after serving 10 years in a maximum security prison for a murder he did not commit. Many years have passed since that fateful night he found popular cheerleader Heather Baker bleeding to death in Emily Wallace's bedroom with Emily as a witness. Now, Clint is returning to his small hometown in Alabama to ask probing questions about the murder to draw out the real killer and prove he's innocent of the crime. No one wants him to stir up the past and some are willing to go to any length to keep their secrets.

At one time, Clint was the object of Emily Wallace's dreams and fantasies, but that was a long time ago. Now he's the major cause of her nightmares. The night she was a witness to her best friend's murder is the night her life changed tragically. When she hears Clint is returning, she vigilantly tries to find any reason to send him back to prison for good. The longer he's in town, the more confusing the situation becomes as Emily starts to suspect he may be innocent after all.

Debra Webb has made a smooth transition to a different genre of writing. TRACELESS is a steamy, provocative novel with deep, deadly secrets guaranteed to be worthy of your time.

SUMMARY

She’s in search of JUSTICE.
Emily Wallace has no doubt about who killed her best friend ten years ago: Clint Austin, her then boyfriend. The key witness in his trial, Emily put Clint behind bars with her tearful testimony. But when Emily learns that Clint has been released on parole, she returns to her Alabama hometown to confront himβ€”and make sure he never forgets the damage he has done.

He is dead-set on revenge…
After serving ten years for a crime he didn’t commit, Clint knows only the truth can set him free. Ignoring warnings from his old friend, now the chief of police, Clint will let no one stand in his way as he tries to prove his innocenceβ€”including Emily, the girl he once loved who ruined his life. Prison has made him a hard man, yet he yearns for Emily…and he can see in her eyes that, in spite of herself, she feels the same. But even if he can convince Emily to trust him, it might be too late to clear his nameβ€”before the real killer strikes again.
