In book two of Breaking Protocol:
With the battle heating up, the team enlists four more soldiers, accepting them into their tight knit family. They have worked side-by-side with these men that are highly trained and specialize in extractions. When bullets fly and things turn nasty, the team loses one of their own who is killed saving his troops. Another hero taken, another high school sweetheart now a widow, and two more kids who will grow up without their daddy.

Bella, her heart and soul shattered as she is faced with the biggest tragedy of her life, spirals into a deep darkness. The world crashes down on her and a friend steps in, pushing the boundaries to get her back.

Joker hopes for her sake and his, he can keep from crossing the boundaries that will take him to a place he vowed never to go. A bond is formed as two people grieve for the same person - a lover and a husband to one, and the closest thing to a brother for the other. The decision is left in the hands of fate: Will it allow for a second chance in love or is there only one destiny?

Through the strangling hands of grief, the team readies for the biggest battle of their career. With U.S. politicians involved, their mission is interesting to say the least. If they succeed, they will surely go down in the history books as heroes. If they fail, the consequences could be deadly. With bigger forces than they had ever imagined against them, the team is determined to slam the hammer of justice down on those in the brutal reality that awaits.

Can they conquer and kill the ones who threaten life as we know it? Can broken hearts be mended through a broken battlefield?
