"A great romantic suspense from this previously published historical author."
Samantha Jellicoe, a gifted cat burglar, has no premonition
that her latest job has disaster written all over it.
Entering into a house while the owner is gone and guarded
with minimal staff to steal an ancient tablet should be
easy. Instead, Samantha discovers the owner in residence
and, as she tries to escape, a bomb explodes and a guard is
killed. Injured herself, Samantha hides out while trying to
figure out who set her up. When colleagues are murdered,
Samantha makes an unusual bargain, as she tries to escape a
murder indictment. Richard Addison, an English billionaire businessman and art
lover, realizes the woman in his home was trying to rob
him. What he cannot figure out is why she saved his life by
plowing into him just as the bomb exploded. The explosion
left the art gallery in his home in shambles and begs the
question -- why try to destroy his priceless collection?
Richard does not like unanswered questions. Refusing to let
the police handle it, he takes an active role. Richard's confidence in his security takes a blow when his
mysterious burglar drops from his skylight with an unusual
request. They form a partnership. Richard needs her
expertise regarding art thieves, and Samantha wants his
assurance that he'll use his power to extricate her from a
murder charge. Their alliance evolves into a more complex
relationship, which is tested as trust becomes the issue. Ms. Enoch's first foray into romantic suspense is a winner.
FLIRTING WITH DANGER takes inspiration from the classic
film "To Catch a Thief" and gives it an unusual twist. Taut
with suspense, this author adds her knack for humor to make
this an intoxicating tale.

burned ...
The Palm Beach job should have been a slam dunk for thief
extraordinaire Samantha Jellicoe: relieve a British playboy
millionaire of a priceless antiquity. But when an explosion
throws her into the arms of said playboy Rick Addison, even
a pro like Sam has to review the rules ...
A Bad Girl's Guide To Flirting ...
* Always wear black when breaking and entering -- it's
both practical and slimming.
* When asking a sexy multi-millionaire for help in
clearing your name of murder, try dropping in through his
skylight to get his attention.
* You may consider staying in his mansion for
"protection" but beware -- hidden grenades can spoil any
bedroom fun.
* For car chases and evading bad guys, take his Bentley
Continental GT -- it has a roomy backseat.
* Should he propose a legitimate partnership, make sure
you really want to leave that life of crime behind. It also
wouldn't hurt to keep the black dress handy, in case you
change your mind ...
