I read this when I was in the psych ward on a 72 hour hold in 2012, because it was one of, if not the best books they had there. I remember literally nothing about it, except that it kept my attention as I wandered around the ward in scrubs and waited for it to be time for food. I carried it around with me and drew GI Joe fanart of The Baroness and Xamot (of Tomax and Xamot fame) having had a love child. I based it on this book cover. Did I mention I was in the psych ward?
I had forgotten the title until this very minute, and I guess I need to reread it and see if it holds up to the literally NOTHING in my memory. I mean, like I said, it was the best book in some random inpatient psych ward in summer 2012. Is that a ringing endorsement or nah? We'll see!

They were fighting! Ciara had never seen Mitch this way before! Ciara thought his job was too dangerous. Mitch thought the bullet hole in his side was a mishap. Although he was bigger than she was, she could over come him with a pout. They had been married 4 weeks before, now she was suppose to be his life, not his job! Mitch wanted to discuss the situation. Mitch said that he had to keep his job to provide for the family, her dad had quit because her mother had henpecked him. He had thought she was different, but now it seemed she was making him choose between her & his job. The bedroom door & the front door slammed almost simultaneously, the last thing they would hear from each other for a long time!
Ciara ran downstairs & tried to stop Mitch from leaving. He had left already. She went back into the house they had bought a week ago. She started emptying boxes into the dining room & living room, arranging his thing the way she hoped he'd like them. They had met on a cruise & her mom objected to him being a cop...but he was FBI. Ciara's mom felt that her husband had walked all over her. Ciara had first seen him playing "Marco Polo" with some youngsters. The pastor had introduced them. Ciara had always been proud of her strength, but in Mitch's arms she felt protected. After their marriage she heard about the death of Special agent Abe Carlson on the TV, which she thought was awful for the family. She prayed to be the wife he deserved.
Lieutenant Chet Bradley had seen the Colombian, Pericolo, order men killed for slamming doors, so he didn't question him. He'd been paid in uncut cocaine for the services he rendered. The younger Colombian, Chambro, walked him to his car. Chambro wanted his boss gotten rid of. He called it taking care of two birds with one stone.
Mitch wondered why his desk lamp was on. Being around Bradley made him uncomfortable, he had hoped that once he became the boss the resentment from their earlier association would fade. Bradley wanted him to go to Philadelphia. This was a great case, but after what had happened at home, could he accept it? Looking at her picture, Bradley asked about his wife, saying that they didn't like to put married men under, but he was the best! Bradley said they didn't have time to get anyone else, and Bradley would be his only communication with the outside world! Pericolo was one of Ciara's greatest fears! Six months earlier he would have accepted it without question! Bradley said it was good that Mitch's wife understood. Hazardous duty wasn't something a wife could live with! Mitch told Bradley about the fight...after only 4 weeks! What if she wasn't waiting for him when this was over? He needed her to be! This could be a real distraction! There was a car waiting downstairs & reservations in his new name. He'd need all the divine intervention he could get. He wrote a note to Ciara & handed it to the lieutenant. He was told he'd be gone 2 weeks. Mitch thought he felt like the sky was falling.
