Bethany is looking forward to celebrating her eighteenth birthday in Hot Springs. If Aunt Margaret and Uncle James have their way she will return from the trip engaged to Mr. Rivalde. Every part of Bethany's life has been controlled, from the clothes she wears to the food she eats. Bethany can't wait to cut off her long hair like other girls and to fly free. Paul studied and chased butterflies when he was a small boy. Now he chases gangsters and he's in Hot Springs following Al Capone's gang. The sight of Bethany amid butterflies, sun streaming down and lighting up her pale skin and long blonde hair, is one that stops Paul Tollick on the spot. She is the most beautiful female he's ever seen. But two other men have determined to catch her for themselves and one is a dangerous gangster. Will she fly free or be trapped? Note from the author: This book is temporarily out of print but I will be re-releasing the book in print and in eBook this summer.

Welcome to my GoodReads author page. I live in a motorhome full-time and travel the U.S.A. with my husband. I write all my romance stories as Debra Parmley. As Debra Bishop, I write fairy tales and fantasy. Back in 2007, an agent sold my first book, A Desperate Journey, to Samhain Publishing. It came out in ebook in 2008 and in print in 2009. I went on to write for 5 small presses. Later, I republished those titles under my press, Belo Dia Publishing Inc. with new covers and ISBN numbers. I also write about our travels and I'm working on a memoir of our first year in the motorhome. Here on Goodreads, you'll see what I'm reading, what I've read, and what I've written. I have a bookshelf of books I keep in the RV to read to my grandchildren and on River's bookshelf, a list of books they have at their house. Goodreads has an app I check on my phone when I'm shopping so I don't duplicate. Do you do the reader's challenge? I do.
