Belclare, Maryland Police Chief Abigail Jensen led her team in a
recent bust of a drug ring that funneled profits to a terrorist group. Believing the intrepid cop, who makes to
clear her town is and will remain drug-free, is a retaliation target, CIA Specialists Director Thomas Casey (see Colby
Agency: The Specialists - Bridal Armor by Debra Webb) assigns agent Riley
O’Brien to go undercover in order to protect Abigail from an unknown threat.
Riley poses as a handyman who moves in next door to the chief. The cop and the undercover cop are attracted
to each other, but he especially knows the futility in a relationship between
them as the protocol of don’t get romantically involved with the protected
sounds alarms in his head that fight his heart (and other body parts). At the same time Belclare Historical Society
President Martin Fillmore objects to Jensen’s additional security measures that
he believes will ruin the annual Christmas event while she insists will save it
from a tragedy.
The first Specialists:
Heroes Next Door is a thrilling spin off from Ms. Webb’s Colby Agency: The Specialists series (see Would-Be
Christmas Wedding and Ready, Aim…I Do!).
The storyline starts slow, but accelerates towards the middle until the
climatic confrontation with a villain that readers will know long before the
dynamic protagonists realize seemingly too late.
