From the Publisher
In Linda Howard's gifted hands, second chances, unexpected romance,
and unrelenting action combine into a riveting new novel of
suspense. In Death Angel, bad girls can wake up and trust their
hearts, bad guys can fight for what's right . . . and dying just
might be the only way to change one's life.
A striking beauty with a taste for diamonds and dangerous men, Drea
Rousseau is more than content to be arm candy for Rafael Salinas, a
notorious crime lord who deals with betrayal through quick and
treacherous means: a bullet to the back of the head, a blade across
the neck, an incendiary device beneath a car. Eager to break with
Rafael, Drea makes a fateful decision and a desperate move,
stealing a mountain of cash from the malicious killer. After all,
an escape needs to be financed.
Though Drea runs, Salinas knows she can't hide-and he dispatches a
cold-blooded assassin in hot pursuit, resulting in a tragic turn of
events. Or does it?
Left for dead, Drea miraculously returns to the realm of the living
a changed woman. She's no longer shallow and selfish, no longer
steals or cheats or sells herself short. Both humbled and thrilled
with this unexpected second chance, Drea embraces her new life. But
in order to feel safe and sound-and stop nervously looking over her
shoulder-she will need to take down those who marked her for
death.
Joining forces with the FBI, supplying vital inside information
that only she can provide, Drea finds herself working with the most
dangerous man she's ever known. Yet the closer they get to danger,
the more intense their feelings for each other become, and the more
Drea realizes that the cost of her new life may be her life
itself-as well as her heart.
