About the book: 

A chilling new spin-off series from USA TODAY bestselling author Debra Webb sure to keep you up all night…

Former homicide detective Clint Hayes has his first client as a private investigator: a fragile beauty he isn’t sure he can trust. An injury has left Natalie Drummond with gaps in her memory, and she sees and hears things that aren’t there. But she’s sure she shot an intruder in her Birmingham mansion. So where’s the body, the gun, the evidence? When it’s clear someone is trying to kill his vulnerable client, Clint appoints himself her protector, working overtime not to fall for her. But someone is dead set that Natalie never regains her memories—or makes new ones with Clint.

Song Playlist: A prepared playlist of songs that embodies the book’s characters and their love story.

Bon Jovi is one of my favorite artists! I love, love, love his son, You want to Make a Memory. I think this song perfectly embodied the developing love story between Clint and Natalie.

A few other songs that played through my mind while writing DARK WHISPERS were:

Stronger by Kelly Clarkson

Need You Now by Lady Antebellum

Story of My Life by One Direction

Movie Star Cast: The author picks movie stars to play the characters in a movie.

I think Robert Downey, Jr, would be a great fit to play Clint. I loved him in The Judge. For Natalie, I’m thinking Felicity Jones. She has the right look and is capable of playing a strong character who’s still vulnerable.

Love Lessons Learned: Real life romance lessons learned from the book.

Never give up on love. Natalie suffered a tragic injury. She doesn’t know who to trust and for the first time since her injury she wants a relationship. Fear holds her back but she finally takes the leap. Trust is so very important to every relationship. Trust and the ability to take the leap.
