And Then You Die has a lot in common with The Ugly Duckling (which I lost before I finished). There is a delicate looking but strong woman who is exposed to terrible violence and bloodshed and survives, just barely, a physical attack. Enter a strong but not really handsome man with gorgeous eyes. He is pushy and saves the woman though her determination to live makes all the difference. The bad guys keep trying to find and kill the woman for mysterious reasons; the man knows the reason but is keeping it a secret for his own reasons. The man helps the woman to get revenge. They have sex and fall in love. There is more killing and some good guys who are trusted friends die.
