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 … 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.

I think I’ve read everything Linda Howard has written and I never get tired of her. Witty, fun, sexy, smart. Great Romances.
I’ll read anything she writes!!
Yes! This is what a good book should read like. Ms. Howard’s writing style is engaging and pulls you along for the ride from beginning to end. And she doesn’t have to drag you kicking and screaming. Nope, give this story a whirl and you’ll see what I mean.
It’s got danger, intrigue, survival- or not- betrayal, romance… It’s got all the …
I love every Linda Howard book I have ever read. Always easy to read, never disappointed.
One of her best. She never disappoints
Characters in Linda Howard’s books are usually about ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances … and how they prevail. Great romantic reads.
Linda Howard at her usual best. Recommended.
I love this book and can read it over and over again.
When their plane goes down on the side of a mountain, the sole female passenger must care for the injured pilot. Over the next few days, they must learn to work together to survive — and figure out if the accident was just that, or if someone meant them harm.
Linda Howard has found the formula! Always great!
Being left in charge of the family fortune can be deadly! Not everyone in the family is happy about the situation. Did one of them arrange for a plane crash to eliminate the person left in charge? Throw a handsome pilot into the mix of being stranded in the wilds and a growing attraction between crash-mates and you have a sweet read!
Love every thing Linda writes

Great romantic suspense
Love all her books. Have her on auto buy!
A great suspense filled read that will keep you entertained.
I don’t think that there is a Linda Howard book that I have not enjoyed. I did not read this one when it first came out because the storyline of a plane malfunctioning was not appealing no matter how romantic and happily ever after it would end. However, I decided to try it now since I no longer have to fly too much for work.
As always, Linda …
