Linda Howard is âa superbly original storytellerâ (Iris Johansen) who knows that nothing goes better with lots of sand, a beach chair and an ice cold drink than a hot summer read! Death Angel is sexy, smoldering, non-stop action from start to finish. Gorgeous, diamond-loving Drea Rousseau takes the meaning of arm candy to a whole new level when she hooks up with Rafael Salinas, a notorious crime lord. Unfortunately for her, nothing goodâ"or in his case, badâ"lasts forever. Knowing Rafael has a wandering eye, Drea does what any streetwise woman with a taste for the finer things would do and rips him off before he loses interest, hightailing it out of town with a bundle of cash and Rafael's hit man hot on her stiletto-clad heels. But Drea can't outrun the monster, who leaves her for dead, never suspecting she'd not only survive, but return to life a changed woman, humbled by her unexpected second chance. Still, you don't double-cross Rafael Salinas without paying. In order to feel safe again, Drea joins forces with the FBI to help take him down, only to find herself working with a man more dangerous than the one she left; a man who might decide to save her lifeâ¦or just as easily forfeit it.
