Description
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.

Julie Garwood is a good match for Linda Howard as she also switched from writing romance to romantic suspense. While Howard's stories are grittier, they share the ability to craft nice love stories even if it is set in a scary situation. Readers also appreciate their skills in developing well-drawn characters and witty, fast-paced dialogue. -- Krista Biggs
J. D. Robb might appeal to Linda Howard readers who enjoy solid mystery and gritty settings along with their spicy romance. Relationships (romantic, business, and family) among a group of people are meaningful, along with the essential element of suspense and the military or police-centered cast of characters. -- Katherine Johnson
Linda Howard writes fast-paced, character-driven suspense stories where the attraction between the male and female protagonists is immediate but trust is slow in coming. Those who enjoy her might also enjoy Cindy Gerard, who writes character-driven romantic suspense stories full of sexual tension, plot twists, and danger. -- Nanci Milone Hill
Although Linda Howard's work is slightly steamier, both she and Judith Gould share a deft hand at dramatic romantic suspense. Their complex characters and compelling plots are sure to keep readers engaged, thrilled, and utterly charmed. -- Mike Nilsson
Linda Howard and Diana Palmer are known for their romances rife with suspense (romantic and other) and tough, sexy heroes that meet just the right women to get through to their softer sides. Romance is often the main element of the story and the happy ending hard-won. -- Melissa Gray
Linda Howard and Lori Foster both focus on contemporary romances and romantic suspense novels. Their heroines are no easy conquests -- male and female characters alike are capable, strong, and determined, and the plots are fast-paced, steamy, and appropriately suspenseful. -- Shauna Griffin
Both Linda Howard and Jayne Ann Krentz write fast-paced romantic suspense with well-developed characters and witty dialogue. Keep in mind that the romantic suspense written by Krentz is lighter in tone than that of Howard -- she creates a menacing atmosphere but does not portray explicit violence. -- Krista Biggs
Katherine Sutcliffe, long known for historical romance, now also writes contemporary romantic suspense. In these, her writing style has a dark edginess and erotic sensuality that should appeal to those who are Linda Howard fans. -- Krista Biggs
Linda Howard and Anne Stuart are both well known for their fast-paced, sexually explicit tales of contemporary romantic suspense involving conflicted women protagonists in danger and enigmatic and honorable, but nonetheless lethally dangerous, rogue males. The setting, too, is a powerful force, and a major contributor to the sense of tension. -- Krista Biggs
