That includes his deep feelings for Gina Vitagliano, the woman who won his admiration and his heart with her courage under fire. But when the shocking news reaches him that Gina has been killed in a terrorist bombing, nothing can keep Max from making a full investigation - and retribution - his top priority.
At the scene of the attack, however, Max gets an even bigger shock. Gina is still very much alive - but facing a fate even worse than death. Along with Molly Anderson, a fellow overseas relief worker, Gina has fallen into the hands of a killer who is bent on using both women to bait a deadly trap. His quarry? Grady Morant, a.k.a "Jones", a notorious ex-Special Forces operative turned smuggler who made some very deadly enemies in the jungles of Southeast Asia...and has been running ever since. But with Molly's life on the line, Jones is willing to forfeit his own to save the woman he loves.
Together with Max's top agent, Jules Cassidy, as their only backup, the unlikely allies plunge into a global hot zone of violence and corruption to make a deal with the devil. Not even Jones knows which ghosts from his past want him dead.
But there's one thing he's sure of - there's very little his bloodthirsty enemies aren't willing to do.

"With its realistically complex and conflicted characters, intense sexual tension, and edgy humor, this is Brockmann at her best." (Booklist)
"Enjoyable and Fun"
Another enjoyable book in the series. I am sick of Jules saying sweetie but over all the characters are fun and well devloped. The plot is also good. Good reader.
"Fantastic Listen!"
I recommend this to anyone who loves military/action romance novels. It's well written, lots of plot twists and interesting characters from her other books pop up. Can't wait to get to the next book!
"Troubleshooter Series is an Excellent Mix of......"
Action, romance, suspense
The tenacity of Max to find Gina
I REALLY love these two. The decision to have both male and female performers adds a terrific dynamic to the book.
Nope
A lot of strong language, great mix -in my opinion- of specially trained, big, beefy men saving their women in an action packed thriller. I'm sure that the author used liberties with her military routines, terms.
"great story line!"
I love these books. The story line keeps you guessing as to what will happen next. And the narrators are 2 of my favorites.
"One of the best"
I am reading Suzanne's Series straight thru and began with the Tall Dark and Dangerous books. I have enjoyed each book and can truly see how her writing style has changed. I enjoyed the storyline of this book completely. It's so nice to find fullfillment for the characters we have grown to know and admire!
When Max finally has to acknowledge he doesn't want to live without Gina.
Jules.....always Jules......Love him and love the performance by Patrick!
Jules won't let Max off the hook in Germany. He makes Max accept his friendship.
Love books. I love to read and love to listen.
"Love this Series"
I love this series. The narrators are amazing. I will definately listen again and continue to listen to these books. I think it is a brilliant partnership.
These two are awesome together.
