In Frisco's Kid, Tasha was a strong-willed, independent child, temporarily living with her uncle, Alan "Frisco" Francisco, a Navy SEAL with a knee injury that had forced his retirement from the Teams. Ten years older, but still just a kid himself, Thomas King lived nearby, and was friends with Mia, the woman who would win Alan's heart, and help raise Tasha. Years ago, Tasha took one look at Thomas and declared that she would marry him someday... Thomas wasn't quite so sure about that... But now Tasha's twenty-three and a strong-willed, independent young woman, and Thomas has been a Navy SEAL himself—and a hospital corpsman, focusing on saving lives—for quite a few years. Tasha's Uncle Alan asks Thomas for a favor—to keep his niece safe as she goes on vacation with her college boyfriend, who is an actual prince from a small European nation. Thomas grimly accepts his role as Tasha's bodyguard so she can meet her boyfriend's royal family, but then things go horribly, terribly wrong, and he and Tash find themselves alone together, on the run from dangerous men who want her dead... And Thomas knows only one thing: He will sacrifice everything to keep Tasha safe.
Author
After childhood plans to become the captain of a starship didn’t pan out, Suzanne Brockmann took her fascination with military history, her respect for the men and women who serve, her reverence for diversity, and her love of storytelling, and explored brave new worlds as a bestselling romance author. Over the past thirty years she has written sixty-three novels, including her award-winning Troubleshooters series about Navy SEAL heroes and the women—and sometimes men—who win their hearts. Her personal favorite is the one where her most popular character, gay FBI agent Jules Cassidy, wins his happily-ever-after and marries the man of his dreams. Called All Through the Night, this mainstream romance novel with a hero and a hero hit the New York Times hardcover fiction bestseller list. In 2007, Suz donated all of her earnings from this book, in perpetuity, to MassEquality, to help win and preserve equal marriage rights in Massachusetts. In addition to writing books, Suz writes and produces indie movies and TV including the award-winning romantic comedy The Perfect Wedding. Her recent feature, Out of Body, is streaming on Amazon Prime. In 2018, Suz was given the Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award from the Romance Writers of America. Her latest projects are Blame It on Rio (Tall, Dark & Dangerous # 14), available in print and e-book from Suzanne Brockmann Books, and Marriage of Inconvenience, a six-episode LBGTQ rom-com TV series, streaming on Dekkoo in April 2023.
