Summary

It���s true what they say: Money changes everything. And in Linda Howard���s red-hot novel��Burn, the changes come fast, furious, and filled with the kind of sexy suspense, heart-stopping romance, beautiful people, and risky business guaranteed to give you the most bang for your buck.

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.
