DESCRIPTION:
Linda Howard is an award winning New York Times bestselling author. She lives in Alabama with her husband and two golden retrievers.
From Publishers Weekly CIA contract agent Lily Mansfield has been a ruthless, professional assassin for nearly 20 of her 37 years, but her work takes a personal turn after the young girl she rescued off the street as a baby, and the friends that were raising her, are killed. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Though Howard's latest offering (after Cry No More) is far flung, the high energy story line translates well to audio thanks to the compelling performances of Hill and Bean. Lily turns renegade and avenges their deaths with a brilliantly executed murder, but she soon finds herself hunted by an evil family, embroiled in a plot that threatens the safety of the world, and chased by handsome CIA agent Lucas Swain, who has been charged with bringing Lily
Keeping laser focus on her task at hand while vigilantly watching her back, Mansfield never sees the lethal peril that lies directly in her path and how loyalty has a price.. Now, after 18 years of service, Lily has been drawn into a dangerous game that hasn't been sanctioned, seeking vengeance for her own reasons. His orders are to either bring her in or bring her down. Efficient, professional, and without apology, Lily Mansfield is a hired assassin, working as a contract agent for the CIA. Each move bolder than the next, she is compromising her superiors, endangering her very life. And if it's her time, so be it. Her targets are the powerful and corrupt, those who can't be touched by the law. She intends to go down fighting. A CIA agent himself, Lucas Swain recognizes the signs of trauma in the line of fire. Though stress and shock have made her feel somewhat invincible and a little cocky, Lily knows that she too can be taken out in an instant. Yet he too is drawn into the game with Lily Mansfield, dancing on a tightrope as he tries to avoid a major international incident while still battling a tenacious foe who is dogging their every step
Sexy, bittersweet story of a desperately isolated heroine. My new favorite by this author. and the man who's been sent to save her - or not. Linda Howard works hard to convince the reader that the hero's romantic involvement with the heroine won't be enough to stop him from committing a shattering betrayal in the line of duty.Is he an assassin sent by the CIA to bring down a rogue agent? Will he go through with his assignment even . So good I first read this book when it came out in hardcover, and loved it. I hadn't read it in years, but since I was in the mood, I bought the kindle version. It's just as good as I remembered. It's the perfect combination of romance and intrigue. Plus there are enough twists to keep you guessing what will happen next.. "Too much talk, not enough action!" according to Pearl. There was a surprisingly void of action in this book. Probably 70% was "what characters were thinking." Pages and pages of thinking. Most Linda Howard books are not this slow. Disappointed!
