I’ve been reminded by many a Redditor that I’ve been remiss in giving a full description of Breaking Protocol. Mostly, I’ve just been telling y’all it’s Veronica Mars meets Hackers, which probably dates me…a little.

It’s a fun action novel, and I’m excited to move toward sharing it with others. As the book is now out of my hands and off with Ms. Agent, I figure it’s time to share the blurb.

Breaking into secured buildings is Bree’s forte. Breaking rules? Not so much.

 

As leader of Operation Spitfire, the Intelligence Security Agency’s most secret program, Bree has been trained since childhood to win at hand-to-hand combat, shoot moving targets, hack into secured databases, and break into any building she wants, any time she wants. What she hasn’t trained for, however, is how to handle it when her best friend is captured and her direct superior suggests it’s an “acceptable loss.”

 

Bree isn’t accepting any kind of loss. She’s never been the sort of girl to back down and she’s not about to start, not when she has the skills to save both her friend and, possibly, thousands of innocent lives along with her.

 

But doing so means making some sacrifices of her own, including giving up some of her secrets to a hot mystery guy who knows way more about what she does than any civilian ought to. He makes her heart beat faster, but is it attraction—or her well-honed instincts telling her to beware?

I had so much fun with this one, and not just for the fight scenes. Or the kissing scenes. Swear.
