Far from the cold woman he expected, Karen Whitlaw is warm and passionate. She is also in serious danger. A string of "accidents" have shaken Karen to the core, and forced her into the protective embrace of the charming detective she vowed to resist. Together they unravel a disturbing story of politics, power, and murder—and face a killer who will stop at nothing to get his hands on her father's secrets.« less
I love anything Linda Howard writes even if the back cover doesn't sound like something I would normally read. She's one of the few authors that I will buy in hardback and she's on my keeper bookshelf for life.
This is a wonderful story that I keep reading over and over again.
It used to be that I tore through Linda Howard books like no one's business. I had friends tell me it was a "must read" and all I can do is wonder "why"? It was good--but definitley not a keeper. "Open Season" and "Dying to Please" will be lonely on my bookshelf once again.
Karen Whitlaw learns her father has been murdered. She has not seen him in many years and thinks he is just another bum who has deserted his family until her deceased mother receives a package from him. Very good story
