NATIONAL BESTSELLER ⢠NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND KIRKUS REVIEWS
Suzanne Brockmannâs seamless blend of heroic military action and intense passion inspiredUSA Today to call her âa superstar of romantic suspenseââand for years her award-winning Troubleshooters books have been must-reads for fans of sizzling stories of action and adventure. Now theNew 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 notâor cannotâreveal.
But saying no is not an option. Especially not for Phoebe Kruger, Ianâs 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: Impossibleâstyle operation, whether he likes it or not.
Though Phoebe has a valuable knack for getting out of tight spots, thereâs 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 whoâs 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 guiltyâor die trying.
Praise for Do or Die
âThis is action-adventure on steroids with an interwoven romance or two, maybe three or even four in full bloom or on the cusp of blossoming. From the start, Iâm recommending that you keep an eye out for the next book in this Reluctant Heroes series. Hereâs a vote for Martell Griffinâs story. [Suzanne] Brockmann writes with the imagination running free and on the wild side. Whatâs not to love about that? . . . Suspense remains high at octane levels, and the romance is served up with witty banter, ultrasexiness and very poignant moments.ââUSA Today
âFans of Suzanne Brockmannâs military suspense novels need not worry. Thereâs a new cast of intriguing, smart and buff characters (both the men and the women), but the adrenaline-driven pace and crafty plotting are pure Brockmann. . . . As the team members dispersed, I looked forward to reading their tales, knowing that master storyteller Brockmann will deliver them as she did in the seventeen Troubleshooters books.ââTampa Bay Times
âBrockmann effortlessly and expertly tosses hundreds of details into the air and juggles them with brilliance. The first in her Reluctant Heroes series, the novel will captivate readers with its intense, action-filled plot, alpha-and-a-half hero, and his smart, perfect-for-him heroine, as well as secondary characters who contribute pathos and humor. Enthralling and breathtaking.ââKirkus Reviews(starred review)
