Heroines that kick ass in Romantic Suspense

As we know, lot of romantic suspence has largely relied on a "damsel in distress" concept. But the times are changing and it's finally possible to come up with a list of good books with heroines who can literally kick some major butt when they need to.

Eve Dallas from J.D.Robb's In Death Series (starting with Naked in Death)

Eve Dallas, a NYPSD Lieutenant from Nora Roberts' futuristic series, is the first action oriented heroine one that come to mind - perhaps due to the fact that she's got two dozens books worth of development.

Milla Edge from Cry No More

The heroine does not serve in the police or special forces. However, her life work of finding missing children can take her into seedier places in the US and Mexico and she has to be ready for it.

Meg Galloway from Northern Lights

It takes a lot of guts to be a busch pilot in Alaska. In addition to that, she has dogs and doesn't mind shooting intruders to protect herself.

Samantha Jellicoe from Flirting With Danger (and sequels)

The heroine is a reformed thief with a sense of humor and many useful skills.

Alyssa Locke from Gone Too Far Gone Too Far (Troubleshooters, Book 6)

Alyssa is an FBI agent who risks her life to stop terrorists by any means necessary.
