About this book

When operative James Nash walks away from years of deadly covert work for a shadowy government agency, his corrupt handlers want him dead—and nearly succeed. Troubleshooters leader Decker stages an elaborate deception, faking Nash's death and stashing him in a safe house with his fiancée Tess to recover and regroup. But keeping a secret of this magnitude proves nearly impossible when sharp-eyed receptionist Tracy pieces together the truth, and Nash's would-be killers set their sights on Decker himself. As the danger escalates and the team is pulled into the crosshairs, the Troubleshooters discover that survival means navigating not just external threats, but the complicated tangle of love, loyalty, and sacrifice that comes when lives are on the line.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
dangeroussmolderingintenseconflictedelectric

Tense, shadowy thriller energy with smoldering tension. Think industrial synth, dark alternative rock, and moody R&B—artists like Massive Attack, The National, and FKA twigs. High-stakes danger mixed with intimate, sensual moments. Espionage meets rekindled passion.
