#1 New York Times bestseller Susan Elizabeth Phillips returns to her beloved Chicago Stars series with a romance between a Chicago Stars quarterback and one of the world’s greatest opera singers—and a major diva. “Re-entering the world of the Chicago Stars is like a beloved friend come to call.” — #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr Thaddeus Walker Bowman Owens, the backup quarterback for the Chicago Stars, is a team player, talented sideline coach, occasional male underwear model, and a man with a low tolerance for Divas. Olivia Shore, international opera superstar, is a driven diva with a passion for perfection, a craving for justice, too many secrets—and a monumental grudge against the egotistical, lowbrow jock she’s been stuck with. It’s Mozart meets Monday Night Football as the temperamental soprano and stubborn jock embark on a nationwide tour promoting a luxury watch brand. Along the way, the combatants will engage in soul-searching and trash talk, backstage drama and, for sure, a quarterback pass. But they’ll also face trouble as threatening letters, haunting photographs, and a series of dangerous encounters complicate their lives. Is it the work of an overzealous fan or something more sinister? This is the emotional journey of a brilliant woman whose career is everything and a talented man who’ll never be happy with second place. Tender and funny, passionate and insightful, this irresistible romantic adventure proves that anything can happen…when two superstars collide.

For Tom Warburton, it is a time when the past catches up to him when he is asked to yet again help out his Country after a video is received by MI6 about a future terrorist plot. The video is from the Infinity Islamic Group led by his nemesis, Jamal Ashid. Even though Tom does not feel obliged to get involved he cannot put aside the past and his intent to see justice done as far as Ashid is concerned. It is the start of the final chase to hunt the man Tom holds responsible for past actions against him and his country, but as he has found out in the past, things do not always go according to plan. This time around he finds those closest to him are placed in danger which he cannot protect them from. The twists that Tom suddenly finds out about during his chase for Ashid creates its own problems of utter confusion. Determined as ever to deal with the man one final time, he heads off as the determined hunter.
