Suzanne Brockmann’s seamless blend of heroic military action
and intense passion inspired USA Today to call her “a
superstar of romantic suspense”—and for years her
award-winning Troubleshooters books have been must-reads for
fans of sizzling stories of action and adventure. Now the
New York Times bestselling author shoots to thrill
again with Do or Die, an electrifying new novel that
is certain to win Brockmann new readers and delight
devotees.
Navy SEAL Ian Dunn went rogue in a big way when he turned
his talents to a lawless life of jewel heists and con jobs.
Or so the world has been led to believe. In reality, the
former Special Ops warrior is still fighting for good,
leading a small band of freelance covert operatives who take
care of high-stakes business in highly unofficial ways. That
makes Ian the hands-down choice when the U.S. government
must breach a heavily guarded embassy and rescue a pair of
children kidnapped by their own father, a sinister foreign
national willing to turn his kids into casualties.
Shockingly, Ian passes on the mission for reasons he will
not—or cannot—reveal.
But saying no is not an option. Especially not for Phoebe
Kruger, Ian’s beautiful and unexpectedly brash new attorney.
Determined to see the abducted children set free,
Phoebe not only gets Ian on board but insists on riding
shotgun on his Mission: Impossible–style operation, whether
he likes it or not.
Though Phoebe has a valuable knack for getting out of tight
spots, there’s no denying the intensely intimate feelings
growing between Ian and Phoebe as the team gears up for
combat. But these are feelings they both must fight to
control as they face an array of cold-blooded adversaries,
including a vindictive mob boss who’s got Ian at the top of
his hit list and a wealthy psychopath who loves murder as
much as he loves money. As they dodge death squads and play
lethal games of deception, Ian and Phoebe will do whatever
it takes to save the innocent and vanquish the guilty
