Having been married to a much-older man, Bailey Wingate is now a widow--and battling her stepchildren on a daily basis. Getting away for a few days is supposed to provide a respite--but the private plane she's on, piloted by ex-Air Force officer Cameron Justice, crashes in the mountains. Both Bailey and Cameron survive, but the clock is running on their lives in the extreme conditions. Natalie Ross's reading of this action-adventure is quite skillful, holding the listener's interest even when the story's pace slows. The lazy, amused Texas drawl she gives Cam is perfect, and she also captures Bailey's strong spirit and tightly wound nature in the cadence of her speech. C.E.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine--

Product Description
A mysterious plane crash . . . a dangerous trek through the Idaho wilderness . . . a smoldering attraction . . . and a deadly game of cat and mouse. In her latest tour de force of romantic suspense, New York Times bestselling author Linda Howard blends these elements into a gripping story that will keep readers breathless–and leave them begging for more. For in Linda Howard’s world, trust can be a weapon, a kiss can be a threat, and intimacy can be deadly.
Bailey Wingate’s scheming adult stepchildren are surprised when their father’s will leaves Bailey in control of their fortune, and war ensues. A year later, while flying from Seattle to Denver in a small plane, Bailey nearly dies herself when the engine sputters–and then fails.
Cam Justice, her sexy Texan pilot, manages to crash-land the aircraft. Stranded in the wilderness, and struggling to douse her feelings for the ruggedly handsome man by her side, Bailey begins to wonder whether this was a mere accident. Who tampered with their plane? Who’s trying to reunite Bailey and her husband in the afterlife? Cut off from the world, and with little hope of rescue, Bailey must trust her life–and heart–to Cam, as they battle the harsh elements to find a way out of the unforgiving wilds and back to civilization . . . where a killer may be waiting to finish the job.
Sexy, suspenseful, and lightning fast, Up Close and Dangerous showcases a beloved author at her dazzling best.
