Loyal. Beautiful. Professional. Impeccably organized.
Potentially lethal. Sarah Stevens is a woman with many
distinct qualities. First and foremost a butler par
excellence, skilled at running large households smoothly and
efficiently, she is also a trained bodyguard and expert
marksman–indispensable to her elderly employer, a courtly
gentleman whom Sarah has come to respect and love as a
father.
Then one night she thwarts a burglary in
progress, a courageous act that rewards Sarah her requisite
“fifteen minutes of fame” with the local press. But the
exposure is enough to catch the attention of a tortured soul
who, unbeknownst to Sarah, will stop at nothing to have her
for himself.
Sarah’s perfectly ordered life is
shattered when tragedy strikes: her beloved employer is
brutally murdered. The detective investigating the case,
assures Sarah that she is not a suspect. Until lightning
strikes twice. There’s a second killing–and this time,
despite a lack of evidence connecting her to the crime,
Sarah cannot escape the shadow of guilt.
The only
option left for Sarah is to carry on with her life. But she
doesn’t realize that a deranged stalker is luring her into
an elaborate trap . . . one in which she, once ensnared,
might never escape. For Sarah soon finds herself at the
mercy of a man who will tend to her every whim, smother her
with affection, and crush her in his all-consuming
embrace.
In a nonstop roller-coaster ride of
unrelenting suspense, Linda Howard has written her most
chilling novel yet. Dying to Please is a breathless
thriller of desire and obsession.
