Oh yeah, I'm so ready for another fix. I can't believe it's 6 months away. Yes, I will be buying this in hc on the day of release. I will actually leave work at lunchtime to get it - only Suz could get me to do that.

From the jacket copy: Hard-driving suspense and intense passion are the hallmarks of bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann's pulse-pounding thrillers. In her tales of daring, danger, courage, and desire, men and women of action fight fiercely, love deeply, and time after time raise the bar for adventure to new heights. Brockmann's latest novel is no exception.
Florida private investigator and ex-cop Ric Alvarado's life is spiraling out of control. His beautiful new Girl Friday, Annie Dugan, is far more interested in fieldwork than filing, an despite Ric's best efforts to ignore the attraction, sparks are flying between them. Then one of Ric's clients turns femme fatale and tries to gun down an innocent man. Thanks to quick thinking and even quicker reflexes, Ric comes to the rescue, only to learn he's done a very good deed for some very bad people.
Suddenly Ric finds himself deep undercover with Annie, working for notorious crime boss Gordon Burns. One mistake from Ric's painfully inexperienced partner and they're both dead.
FBI Agent Jules Cassidy's life isn't in much better shape. For years the FBI has been trying to prove Gordon Burns's ties to terrorist activity. Now, thanks to Ric and Annie, Jules has found a way into the lion's den. But in the course of his investigation, he comes face to face with Robin Chadwick, the charismatic but self-destructive and closeted movie star for whom Jules feels a powerful attraction. Robin's in town promoting his latest film -- and Gordon Burns is a star-struck movie buff.
With Robin and Jules's help, Ric and Annie are soon entrenched in Burns's organization, surrounded by killers who may already have executed an FBI infiltrator. Before long the couple realizes that many more lives than their own will be at stake if they make a false move. As the heat between them reaches dangerous levels, so do the risks they're willing to take -- in the line of duty, for the sake of loyalty, and in the name of something that runs even deeper...

You tease!! I hadn't read about this one yet and now I have to wait until August!?! I cannot wait to read this. I love her books. Yeah, Jules gets his story!
byYou think this is Jules' story? I think he'll still be a secondary primary character :)
byI can't wait either. Are you sure we aren't related?
I've got to agree with Toni! I think Suz will eventually deliver Jules a whole book. At least, I hope she does. I was disappointed in INTO THE STORM, so I believe I'll wait on this one. Jules' part in it would be the only part that would tempt me!
byBut I get the jonesing! I feel that way about the next Black Dagger Brotherhood book! I can't decide whether I'll take day off or not, but it's definitely possible!
I am so with you on this!! I can't wait!!!!
byAccording to what I've read on Suz's BB, this is just the next step in Jules' story. His book is coming...probably sooner rather than later. :-D
All I say is YAY!!
I'm with you, Stacy. Every new release from Suz is thrilling. She is a master. Love Jules, too!
byOh Jules gets even more of a story? I thought I read his book was next. I'll go fix it. Thanx ladies :)
byI can't WAIT for this one!yy
