Striking Distance by Debra Webb

CIA recruit Tasha North was assigned to draw out an unknown assassin and neutralise him–to take whatever risks were required. Her target was a ruthless killing machine with no conscience, no fear and a black hole for a heart. He had ear–marked the dynamic head of the Colby private investigation agency for termination, but Tasha was determined to stop him at all costs.

She soon discovered that carnal seduction was the key Years of rage and fantasies of revenge had destroyed any semblance of human emotion in him, yet when he took Tasha in his arms the two 'connected'. Penetrating his personal fortress was the only hope she had–and she'd have to use her heart as bait.

'Striking Distance by Debra Webb is a fast–moving, sensual blend of mystery and suspense, with multiple story–lines, an unusual hero and heroine, and an ending that escapes the trap of being too pat. I thoroughly enjoyed it.'–New York Times bestselling author Linda Howard
