A mysterious plane crash . . . a dangerous trek through the
Idaho wilderness . . . a smoldering attraction . . . and a
deadly game of cat and mouse. In her latest tour de force of
romantic suspense, New York Times bestselling author Linda
Howard blends these elements into a
gripping story that will keep readers breathless–and leave
them begging
for more. For in Linda Howard’s world, trust can be a
weapon, a kiss
can be a threat, and intimacy can be deadly.
Bailey
Wingate’s scheming adult stepchildren are surprised when
their father’s
will leaves Bailey in control of their fortune, and war
ensues. A year
later, while flying from Seattle to Denver in a small plane,
Bailey
nearly dies herself when the engine sputters–and then
fails.
Cam
Justice, her sexy Texan pilot, manages to crash-land the
aircraft.
Stranded in the wilderness, and struggling to douse her
feelings for
the ruggedly handsome man by her side, Bailey begins to
wonder whether
this was a mere accident. Who tampered with their plane?
Who’s trying
to reunite Bailey and her husband in the afterlife? Cut off
from the
world, and with little hope of rescue, Bailey must trust her
life–and
heart–to Cam, as they battle the harsh elements to find a
way out of
the unforgiving wilds and back to civilization . . . where a
killer may
be waiting to finish the job.
Sexy, suspenseful, and
lightning fast, Up Close and Dangerous showcases a beloved
author at her dazzling best.
