Books like Flashpoint by Suzanne Brockmann

Former top‑secret operative Jimmy Nash has traded government assignments for the shadowy world of Troubleshooters Inc., a firm that offers emergency services while carrying out covert missions. In the earthquake‑devastated country of Kazbekistan, Nash and a newly assembled team infiltrate the nation under the cover of relief workers to recover a laptop rumored to contain vital national‑security secrets. Nash’s experience and willingness to bend rules put him at odds with Tess Bailey, a Troubleshooters operative who brings intuition but lacks field experience. Their immediate attraction intensifies the tension as they navigate a land where old feuds and new enemies threaten their mission. With every decision carrying grave consequences, Nash and Bailey must keep their forbidden passion from derailing a high‑stakes operation conducted far from the reach of U.S. intelligence. “Flashpoint” blends fast‑paced action with emotional stakes, underscoring Brockmann’s skill at creating suspenseful narratives that keep readers on the edge of their seats.
