Wow.  Wow, wow, wow.  I read this book in one sitting.  It was given to us at National last year.  According to the back cover, Debra was a Harlequin author, which just proves what talent lies within our ranks.

Backcover Synopsis - COLBY AGENT OR NOT, HE DIDN'T DARE CROSS THE LINE WITH THIS WOMAN--NOT YET

Former US marshal Shane Allen made one mistake on the job, and it cost him his reputation.  Now he had a second chance working an inside case for the newly rebuilt Colby Agency.  And nothing, certainly not some tagalong woman, was going to ruin it.

Three (female) detectives on the Las Vegas police force go under cover for a weekend to break a big crime problem and find love while still getting their "guys". In Ms. Webb's story, the heroine meets the hero for the first time; in the other two, we have reunion-type stories. Action-packed with both danger and love, fans should enjoy these stories. NFM
