"Raised in a military family, Max Rossi learned at an early age that he was a fixer by nature. A person destined to step in and fix whatever needed fixing. Fix other people’s problems. After entering the military, his abilities were quickly recognized as special skills. Skills that were honed into fieldcraft mastery. For his country, as a special operative, he uses his skills to perform clandestine missions around the world. For his community, as a neighbor and friend, he uses his skills to gift favors. Favors to those who have fallen victim to the underlives and dregs of society. For his actions, sometimes there are consequences. Sometimes ghosts of favors past return seeking their pound of flesh. Max’s flesh to be exact. One night back at home, Max is ambushed by three unknown attackers seeking retribution for one such favor. After successfully warding off his attackers, the ante is upped. To lure him out, someone Max holds dear has been taken. His wife. Their error in judgement had been a mistake. It will be their last."
"Long after leaving the trenches of combat, former soldier, Max Rossi, still did more before 5 AM than most people did all day. Only now as an elite operative for the military, his trenches are any part of the world his covert assignments take him. While as a fixer for his community his trenches are the many holes the dreads of society who prey on the innocent choose to dwell. No sooner had he returned from an assignment of the former had all hell broke loose in the latter.
Now, fresh off the plane from a successful mission, Max finds himself needed on both sides of the Great Divide. On the East Coast, he must ward off the latest triad in a string of assassins launched by a madman. While three thousand miles to the west, he must respond to a call for help from his fictive kin sister, Tami. Max is gifted with many skills but the ability to be in two places at the same time is not one of them.
In this spellbinding story of romance, suspense, action, twisted themes, and interwoven plots, Max entrusts Tami’s life to his brother in arms, Devon, to the west. Leaving him free to battle trouble back home. Neither man expects failure as an outcome. Will expectations be put to the ultimate test? "
"Her knowledge of a series of car fires has Doctor Trent Henson leaving the safety of her best friend’s car and stepping out into the dark deserted streets of the metropolis night.

Her oath to herself has always been to take the work seriously but never take it home. Events of tonight will hit home and change everything.
