About Suzanne Brockmann...
Since her explosion onto the publishing scene more than
ten years ago, Suzanne Brockmann has written fifty
books, and is now widely recognized as one of the
leading voices in romantic suspense.
Her work has earned her repeated appearances
on the USA Today and New York Times bestseller
lists, as well as numerous awards, including Romance
Writers of America's #1 Favorite Book of the Year
(three years running), two RITA Awards, and many
Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice
Awards.
Married to author Ed Gaffney, Suz divides her time
between Sarasota, Florida; Boston, Massachusetts and
New York City. They have two grown children, Melanie,
who is a personal trainer, and Jason, who is an actor and
tap dancer, and two miniature schnauzers, C.K.
Dexter-Haven and Little Joe, both of whom (unlike Mel
and Jason) still live at home.
Suz is a proud member of PFLAG -- Parents, Families
and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. She is also a
card-carrying member of the American Civil Liberties
Union, the Human Rights Campaign, and MassEquality.
A firm believer in civil rights for all people, she has fought
hard to bring equal marriage rights to all citizens of her
home state, Massachusetts.

The Unsung Hero (Troubleshooters Series #1)
Izzy Zanella wasn't looking for another reason to butt heads
with his Navy SEAL teammate and nemesis, Danny Gillman.
But then he met Danny’s beautiful younger sister, Eden. When
she needed it most, he offered her a place to stay, a shoulder to
cry on—and more. And when she got pregnant with another
man’s child, he offered her marriage. But Eden’s devastating
miscarriage shattered their life together—and made the intense
bad blood between Izzy and Danny even worse.
Now Eden's back, on a mission to rescue her teen brother, Ben,
from their abusive stepfather. Even if she and Izzy can prove
that their broken marriage is still in one piece, winning legal
custody of Ben is a long shot. But they’re not alone: Danny
and his girlfriend Jenn offer to help, and he and Izzy agree to
bury the past and fight for Ben’s future.
As they plan their strategy, Izzy and Eden grapple with the raw
passion that still crackles between them—while Danny and
Jenn confront new depths in their own rocky relationship. But
events take a terrifying turn after Ben befriends a girl fleeing a
child prostitution ring. When the young runaway seeks refuge
with Eden and Izzy, her pursuers kidnap Ben—and a deadly
standoff begins. Now, they must all pull together like never
before and strike back, swift and hard, to protect their
unconventional little family and everything they hold most
precious.
