HOT TARGET $1.99 U.S. e-Sale TODAY ONLY!!
Ballantine Books has put Hot Target (Cosmo & Jane; Jules meets Robin) on e-sale in the U.S. for the grab-it-fast price of $1.99 !This is the eighth book in the Troubleshooters series, but it stands alone!Hot Target really holds up. I re-read it during the pandemic--I needed a fix of Jules Cassidy to get me through, and I ended up re-reading the entire series. Inspiration...? :-) Stay tuned...If you've never read my Troubleshooters series, Hot Target is a great place to start. It's the beginning of the Jules and Robin story arc that continues in BREAKING POINT (Okay, BP is really more Jules's book, focusing on his friendship with his FBI boss, Max, but Important Things happen...), FORCE OF NATURE, and ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. $1.99 is a terrific grab-it-for-your-e-reader price--HOT TARGET is usually listed by the publisher at $9.99 for the ebook! (Yikes!!)And $1.99 is a great price to go all evangelical with friends and family who haven't yet been introduced to FBI Agent Jules Cassidy!! (Thank you to all who continued to spread the word about my books, even the more mature ones like Hot Target, which, again, really does hold up. I'm not sure whether to feel good about this book being truly cutting edge, or to feel bad because clearly little has changed in our world since its 2004 pub date...) But RED ALERT, PEOPLE! This is truly a flash-e-sale!As a Kindle Daily Deal, HOT TARGET is $1.99 for today, July 22nd, and today only!

Troubleshooters Series, Book # 8Ballantine BooksHardcover release date: Dec. 28th, 2004About 400 PagesNew York Times Hardcover Fiction BestsellerWinner, Border’s Group Bestselling Hardcover Romance of 2005 (Remember Borders...?!)Hero: Chief Cosmo Richter, US Navy SEALHeroine: Jane Mercedes Chadwick, movie producerLocation: Hollywood, CaliforniaLike most men of action, Navy SEAL Chief Cosmo Richter never learned how to take a vacation. So when he finds himself facing a month’s leave with little to do, he offers his services to Troubleshooters Incorporated. Founded by a former SEAL, the private-sector security firm is a major player in the ongoing war against terrorism, known for carrying out covert missions too volatile for official U.S. military action. But the first case Richter takes on is anything but under the radar. High-profile maverick movie producer Jane Mercedes Chadwick hasn’t quite completed her newest film, but she’s already courting controversy. The World War II epic frankly portrays the homosexuality of a real-life hero — and the storm of advance media buzz surrounding it has drawn the fury of extremist groups, including the neo-nazi Freedom Network. But despite a relentless campaign of angry e-mails, phone calls, and smear tactics, Chadwick won’t be pressured into abandoning the project. Then the harassment turns to death threats. The FBI gets involved, her nervous Hollywood associates call in Troubleshooters, and now Jane has an army of round-the-clock bodyguards, whether she likes it or not. And she definitely doesn’t. Jane’s stubbornness is yet another emotional obstacle that FBI agent Jules Cassidy doesn’t need — he’s already in the midst of a personal tug-of-war with his ex-lover, while fighting a growing attraction to Jane’s brother.(Side note: Here in 2021, including the fact that a gay man has a major subplot in the book, in the coverflap blurb of a hardcover romance novel, might not seem like all that big of a deal. But let me tell you, back in 2004, it was HUGE. I was pushing the edge of the romance novel envelope with this story, and I'm pretty sure I teared up when I first read this blurb and knew, for a fact, that Ballantine Books wasn't going to "pretend" Hot Target didn't include Jules and Robin's love story. We were--author and publisher, together with Jules--loudly out and proud and standing tall in our believe that LOVE IS LOVE. It truly meant the world to me!) Determined to succeed — and survive — on her own terms, Jane doesn’t expect the bond she forms with the quiet, capable Cosmo Richter. Yet even as their feelings draw them closer, the noose of deadly terror all around them draws tighter. And when all hell erupts, desire and desperate choices will collide on a killing ground that may trap them both in the crossfire.Another note: Hot Target is the book where I wrote that dedication to Jason. Yeah, that one. You can read it here and see pix from Jason's March 2016 wedding to his husband, Matt: https://suzannebrockmann.com/books/troubleshooters/hot-target/ht-dedication-2/
