New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann, whom USA Today calls “the reigning queen of military suspense,” breaks out a rapid-fire collection of pulse-pounding, heart-tugging stories and novellas featuring the intrepid men and women of Troubleshooters Inc., fiction’s hottest ultimate counter terrorism squad. 

• Tough-as-nails Troubleshooters operative Sam Starrett learns the agony of loving someone in danger—and the hell of waiting on the home front—as his wife, Alyssa, hurtles into a foreign hotspot that’s about to boil over.

• Navy SEAL Frank O’Leary’s ill-fated holiday reunion with his older brother takes a turn for the better—when a chance encounter on a rainy New Orleans street gives Frank a reason to be thankful after all.

• In a maze of tunnels deep beneath a military base in Germany, Jules Cassidy, Alyssa Locke, and their comrades in arms match wits with terrorists on a mission with explosive consequences.

Plus more never-before-released adventures featuring Jenk, Izzy, Gillman, Lopez, Kenny, Savannah, and other members of SEAL Team 16—along with Suzanne Brockmann’s exclusive interviews with her beloved characters.

Looking for the best kind of trouble? You’ve found it!




Book Review 

If you are looking for a full-length novel, HEADED FOR TROUBLE IS NOT THAT. 
Instead, it is a behind-the scenes look at Brockmann's characters from her Troubleshooter series. 

That being said--Suzanne Brockmann is the reason why I am addicted to military romance. She writes such strong characters with a realism that is sometimes lacking in the fictional world. And I have come to adore her Troubleshooters series with a borderline obsessiveness. 

The Troubleshooters series is like a huge family to me. And one that I have re-read on occasion, because they're just that damn good. 

HEADED FOR TROUBLE is a compilation of short stories, interviews, etc,  featuring the characters from her Troubleshooters series, and for the most part is not something new. But this is a great addition to those who have grown to love Brockmann's sexy military men and desire to have everything about them in their collection. 

Here is some of what is included: 


  • Troubleshooters Series Timeline
  • Several short stories including A SEAL and Three Babies--new
  • Interviews with characters
  • FAQ with Suzanne Brockmann
  • Glossary of Troubleshooter Terms
  • Bonus story ~ Shane's Last Stand
For what it is and the market it is directed toward, HEADED FOR TROUBLE only gives the reader a taste to how truly remarkable and talented Suzanne Brockmann is. I highly recommend the full length novels instead for a first time read, starting with Unsung Hero.
