Linda Howard is an author that though I really enjoy her books, I haven’t read a new one of her releases in quite a long time but that doesn’t mean I can’t share with you lovely readers the books she’s writing and coming out with. Linda Howard is a wonderful author who has written some of my favorite books and she’s coming out with a new one so be on the look out for it. It’s called Burn and it comes out on July 7th, so again there isn’t too much of a wait on this one.
Check out the synopsis:
Money certainly changes Jenner Redwine’s life when she wins a lottery jackpot. But it also costs her plenty: Her father rips her off and disappears, her fortune-hunting boyfriend soon becomes her ex, and friends-turned-freeloaders give her the cold shoulder when she stops paying for everything.
Flush with new money, Jenner can’t imagine ever finding a place in the world of the wealthy. Seven years later, though, she’s rubbing elbows with the rich, despite the fact she still feels like a party crasher. Luckily she finds an ally–and a guide to the rarefied realm of privilege–in shy, kind-hearted heiress Sydney Hazlett, who quickly becomes Jenner’s confidante and surrogate sister.
When Sydney invites Jenner on a charity cruise aboard a luxury liner, Jenner reluctantly agrees. But while she’s expecting–and dreading–two weeks of masquerade balls, art auctions, and preening glitterati, what she gets is more like a Hitchcock movie than a Love Boat episode. Taken hostage by a menacing stranger, Jenner must cooperate in a mysterious cloak-and-dagger scheme–or else. With nowhere to run, and with Sydney’s life as well as her own at risk, Jenner is drawn into a game of dizzying intrigue and harrowing danger. But as her panic gives way to exhilaration, and fear of her captor turns to fascination, Jenner rediscovers feelings she hasn’t had in years–and realizes she’s found a life worth living. If she survives.
Sounds like it’ll definitely be a page turner so keep your eyes out, a new Linda Howard is on it’s way to a bookstore near you. =)
This book is available from Random House. You can pre-order it here.
I’ve read few Linda Howard books the one I did read were great looking forward to this release.
i’ve been waiting FOREVER for it. just. a. little. longer.
Thank you Rowena! I haven’t read any of Linda Howard’s more recent releases (I think the only romantic suspense book I have read is Cry No More, which I LOVED) as I’m still hooked on those Mackenzies 🙂 But this sounds good!
*makes note*
I am soooooo looking forward to this one.
What can I say? As long as Ms Howard is not writing the first person books [what’s her name, Blair?] or time travel, I’m sure to get her books.
Now, hardcover prizes… *wince* ouchie
The sequel, Ice, comes out in November. I wonder if Sydney will be the heroine of that book.
