Dying to Please by Linda Howard
4.0
Another enjoyable story by [a:Linda Howard|16961|Linda Howard|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1238749914p2/16961.jpg], this time with a kick-ass heroine as well as hero.
Sarah has an unusual job and skill-set, working as a butler/bodyguard for a retired FBI judge. Things have been quiet at her post until a night of an attempted burglary which she stops without much effort and gains the attention of the press.
Her reluctant 15 minutes of fame bring her to the attention of a villain, while her involvement in the burglary led to her meeting detective Tom Cahill, a man whom she's intensely attracted to.
Despite her attraction, she has a plan and it does not involve a relationship. Her plans change, however, when the villain murders her beloved employer and detective Cahill is the one investigating the case.
Tom has been burned by his cheating ex-wife and is pretty bitter and distrustful, but Sarah's feelings are not one-sided and after clearing her from his suspect list, he starts pursuing her.
The two are combustible together and things move fast, but suspicion and bad past experiences come between them, especially when.
Fast paced, with a villain who turned out to be a complete creep and an intense romance with ups and downs, this was an engaging story that, combined with [a:Susan Ericksen|717304|Susan Ericksen|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1297816994p2/717304.jpg]'s excellent narration, kept me up and listneing until very late (who needs sleep anyway?).
Looking forward to the rest of the author's back-list, which I'm binging on lately.
