Death Angel — Linda Howard

A striking beauty with a taste for diamonds and dangerous men, Drea Rousseau decides it's time to ditch notorious drug lord Rafael Salinas, but not before stealing a mountain of his cash to finance her escape. Salinas dispatches a cold-blooded assassin in hot pursuit, resulting in a tragic turn of events. Or does it? Left for dead, Drea miraculously returns to the realm of the living a changed woman. Thrilled with this unexpected second chance, Drea joins forces with the FBI, working with the most dangerous man she has ever known in order to take down those who marked her for death. Yet the closer these two get to danger, the more intense their feelings for each other become, and the more Drea realizes that the cost of her new life may be her life itself -- as well as her heart.
