Search - Raven's Prey

Typical romance by Krentz, although this was written early in her careet under the name of Stephanie James.

When a shady business deal goes awry, Honor Knight is desperate to flee the U.S. with her life -- even if it means taking refuge deep in rural Mexico. Her captor has other ideas. Judd Raven has been hired -- by two men claiming to be her father and brother -- to hunt Honor down.

Honor knows that delivery into their hands will mean certain death. Judd's been led to believe she's a compulsive liar. How can she prove to her kidnapper that these men are seasoned, murderous criminals? Judd's just a cold-blooded mercenary with money on his mind. Or could there still be a beating heart underneath that rugged exterior?

This is an early Krentz written in 1983 and reissued.

Mercenary Judd tracks down Honor in a small Mexican village where she is hiding from her former business partners who want her dead. Convincing Judd not to take her back to be murdered is a tough task and she'll do anything to make him see her point of view. Hot sex, strong language...typical Kentz read. Great way to spend a winter evening reading!

Always interesting to read early works by favorite authors.
