Navy Seal Chief Cosmo Richter is granted a leave to care for his mother who had an accident and broke her wrists.  He soon finds out that his mother really doesn't need too much of his help.  He just couldn't stand not doing anything with the time off he was granted.  He could use it as a long overdue vacation.  However, Cosmo did not know the meaning of the word "vacation". 

Cosmo decided to pay a visit to Tom Paoletti, an ex-Navy Seal who formed a security company named Troubleshooters.  Tom just happened to have a temporary assignment for Cosmo.  The assignment involved movie producer, Jane Mercedes Chadwick.  She hasn't quite finished her latest movie yet but it seems to be drawing a great deal of controversy.  The movie is a World War II epic and portrays the homosexuality of a real-life hero.  The harassment soon turns to death threats.  Cosmo is sent to Los Angeles as part of the security detail.  The FBI is also involved and the agent-in-charge is Jules Cassidy who is also an interesting part of this story.

Cosmo and Jane aren't really alike in many ways.  Little by little, they start to develop a bond with each other but still have a problem with trust.  Could they be falling in love?  What will be the result of this dangerous, temporary assignment for Cosmos?

Suzanne Brockmann has written an excellent thriller.  There are many subplots in the story.  Suzanne's writing technique will peak your interest from the very first page and you won't want to stop reading.  The author also does an excellent job of incorporating some humor throughout the dialogue of the book.  There is plenty of suspense and action for everyone!
