Mistress of Crime Lord Rafael Salinas, Drea Rousseau has worked her way up from poverty to the penthouse suite. She knows she only has a few years to be Salinas' arm candy before she is traded in for a newer model. That is why Drea is making the most of her life on top. But when a hired assassin asks Salinas for four hours along with her as payment for a job well done, Drea is shocked when Salinas hands her over. The time with the assassin changes her life. But when their time is over, Drea knows she has to get away from Salinas and make him pay for giving her away. A quick transfer of funds and a disguise has Drea on the run from Salinas. When the mobster finds she has taken over two million dollars of his money, he sends the assassin after her.
I didn't think I'd ever be rooting for a mistress and an assassin, but I was wrong. Linda Howard makes takes two slightly cold-blooded characters and shows you what they are made of. I liked Drea from the first couple of pages of the book. We see why she has decided to be Salinas' mistress and how she is devastated when he gives her away. Simon, the assassin, was a little harder to warm up to, but by the end of the book I wanted to see him win the girl. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
