Ann Roberts has published six books and is working on her seventh:
A quiet Sunday afternoon takes a deadly turn for real estate agent Ari Adams, who discovers the corpse of a business tycoon in one of her listings. 
When her best friend, Bob, becomes the prime suspect, Ari's unwavering loyalty to prove his innocence puts her on a collision course with Detective Molly Nelson, the gorgeous homicide detective facing the enormous pressure of finding the power broker's killer – fast.
When Bob disappears, Ari enters a world of betrayal and deception, causing her to question her friendship with Bob and his innocence. She realizes that she may need to admit that Molly's hunt for justice will lead to her best friend, a man who knows Ari's greatest secret.
As both of the women hunt for Bob, they are drawn to each other, conscious of the chemistry between them and unable to control the desire that surfaces when they are together. But the investigation and Ari's unwillingness to stay on the side lines could jeopardize any hope of true romance. While Ari desperately craves Molly's attention, her devotion to Bob may force her to choose between the debts of the past and the promise of a happy future – if she can stay alive that long.

Ann Roberts has authored six books: Paid in Full, Furthest from the Gate, Brilliant, Beach Town, White Offerings and Root of Passion. A native Arizonan who should've been born near an ocean, Ann and her family go to a coast as often as possible. She and her partner recently celebrated their fifteenth anniversary, and she wonders how such a wonderful woman would tolerate living with a writer for so long.
For many years she was an English teacher and was thrilled every time a high school student found the joy of writing. While many of her budding author protégées promised to split the royalties of their future best sellers with her, she has yet to see a check from any of them. She’s still hopeful.
Ann enjoys a good joke (see above paragraph), excellent red wine, watching movies and spending time with friends. She's not particularly fond of writing biographical sketches about herself at the behest of her slave-driving webmaster cousin. What she loves most is language, and she continues to be fascinated by words and their power. And she is very grateful to her readers for their support!
