Like most men of action, Navy SEAL Chief Cosmo Richter
never learned how to take a vacation. So when he finds
himself facing a month’s leave, he offers his services to
Troubleshooters Incorporated. Founded by a former SEAL, the
private-sector security firm is a major player in the
ongoing war against terrorism, known for carrying out
covert missions too volatile for official U.S. military
action. But the first case Richter takes on is anything but
under the radar.
High-profile maverick movie producer Jane Mercedes
Chadwick hasn’t quite completed her newest film, but she’s
already courting controversy. The World War II epic frankly
portrays the homosexuality of a real-life hero–and the
storm of advance media buzz surrounding it has drawn the
fury of extremist groups. But despite a relentless campaign
of angry E-mails, phone calls, and smear tactics, Chadwick
won’t be pressured into abandoning the project. Then the
harassment turns to death threats.
While the FBI appears on the scene, nervous Hollywood
associates call in Troubleshooters, and now Chadwick has an
army of round-the-clock bodyguards, whether she likes it or
not. And she definitely doesn’t. But her stubbornness
doesn’t make FBI agent Jules Cassidy’s job any easier. The
fiercely independent filmmaker presents yet another
emotional obstacle that Cassidy doesn’t need–he’s already
in the midst of a personal tug-of-war with his ex-lover,
while fighting a growing attraction to Chadwick’s brother.
Determined to succeed–and survive–on her own terms,
Chadwick will face off with enemies and allies alike. But
she doesn’t count on the bond she forms with the quiet,
capable Cosmo Richter. Yet even as their feelings bring
them closer, the noose of deadly terror all around them
draws tighter. And when all hell erupts, desire and
desperate choices will collide on a killing ground that may
trap them both in the crossfire.
