Ashley Bellagosama is excited to leave the hotel industry to build a client relations role at SAT Security & Investigation. Not only does she find herself learning at a lightening pace but thrust in the middle of some pretty tense contract arbitrations. While she excels at managing demanding and unruly clientele, she’s unprepared to square off with SAT’s newest hire, Rushton Sterling, who believes she’s more an adversary than asset to the team’s swift growth.
Rushton Sterling stayed a little too long in his role at CIA, jumping at any chance to get out from behind his director’s desk and back in the field. But when he barely survives a bomb attack, he’s encouraged to retire from field operations altogether. Unwilling to settle for politics and paper-pushing, he explores an opportunity with an old CIA colleague’s firm, SAT Security & Investigation. As he embarks in this new role, his rusting skills, and aging body, are tested to the limits by a sexy, but snarky new hire and a chilling hostage negotiation.
