The Defiant Hero (Troubleshooters #2)

The Defiant Hero is the second book in Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooters series.

Meg Moore is targeted by a terrorist group. Her daughter and grandmother are kidnapped and will be killed unless Meg agrees to assassinate a rival terrorist leader. She was chosen for her ability to get into the Kazbekistan embassy in D.C.

Though Meg has never killed anyone, or even fired a gun, she will do anything to save her daughter. She must somehow capture her target and deliver him to the kidnappers. She has no idea how she is going to do it, but if she can secretly contact John Nilsson, a Navy SEAL, she will have a better chance of success.

Not knowing whether she has even a remote chance of succeeding, Meg will race against the clock to save Amy. John Nilsson will do what he can to help Meg, but she will only allow him so much involvement. If the terrorists find out she has gone to the authorities, Amy will be killed and Meg's life will not be worth continuing. How far can she trust Nils without putting Amy's life in jeopardy?
