Publisher Description
The Troubleshooters return in the latest thriller from New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann! Some Kind of Hero showcases Brockmann’s signature white-knuckle suspense, romantic twists, and sexy Navy SEALs.
Navy men don’t come tougher than Lieutenant Peter Greene. Every day he whips hotshot SEAL wannabes into elite fighters. So why can’t he handle one fifteen-year-old girl? His ex’s death left him a single dad overnight, and very unprepared. Though he can’t relate to an angsty teen, he can at least keep Maddie safe—until the day she disappears. Though Pete’s lacking in fatherly intuition, his instinct for detecting danger is razor sharp. Maddie’s in trouble. Now he needs the Troubleshooters team at his back, along with an unconventional ally.
Romance writer Shayla Whitman never expected to be drawn into a real-world thriller—or meet a hero who makes her pulse pound. Action on the page is one thing. Actually living it is another story. Shay’s not as bold as her heroines, but she’s a mother. She sees the panic in her new neighbor’s usually fearless blue eyes—and knows there’s no greater terror for a parent than having their child at risk. It’s an ordeal Shay won’t let Pete face alone. She’s no highly trained operative, but she’s smart, resourceful, and knows what makes teenagers tick.
Still, working alongside Pete has its own perils—like letting the heat between them rise out of control. Intimate emotions could mean dangerous, even deadly, consequences for their mission. No matter what, they must be on top of their game, and playing for keeps . . . or else Pete’s daughter may be gone for good.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Brockmann's reliably sexy Troubleshooters contemporary romantic thriller series continues with this fun, vivid 17th installment (after Do or Die). Lt. Peter Greene is living in San Diego with his teenage daughter, Maddie, having recently gained custody of her after her mother's death. Maddie is sullen and resents having to live with a father whom she barely knows. She doesn't realize how much he cares about her, and eventually she runs away. Peter turns to his neighbor, writer Shayla Whitman, a single mom to two teen boys. As she helps Peter look for his daughter, sparks fly, and Peter realizes that he is interested in Shayla as more than just a friend. After they hook up, he's bemused by her suggestion that their relationship is only about sex. The passion and suspense continue unabated as Peter and Shayla travel across California searching for Maddie. While Shayla reaches out to the girl over e-mail, Peter enlists the help of his SEAL teammates. As always, Brockmann excels at depicting both lusty lovemaking and the genuine camaraderie of friendship.
Customer Reviews
The Troubleshooters Series
Suzanne Brockmann is an amazing writer! In fact, she has become my very favorite author. She had me confused, just a little I have to admit, in the first book because there were so many things going on from so many different people. All her books are that way to me. But once you get a chapter or two into each book, you’re hooked. I read ALL night (without even a nap) several times, because I just couldn’t put the book down. I’ve never paid so much to download so many books, but I’ll be spending much more in the future for her books….she’s just that great! Thank you, Suzanne, for the many hours of entertainment you gave me.
Great Book
I loved reading this book. Read it twice, just to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
Action-packed and steamy
Intriguing, relatable characters and a fast-paced plot are the story go by too fast! A winner!
