The Negotiator

By Dee Henderson

This is book one in the O'Malley Series. The series is centered around a group of orphans who adopt each other and take the same last name, O'Malley. Each of the O'Malleys entered into a public service career. There is a firefighter, an EMT, a Secret Service Agent, a doctor, and more. I think there are seven books in the series plus a prequel. Dee Henderson has also written two other series of books that I follow. There is the Uncommon Heroes series that has main characters in the services and the Rachel Flynn Mystery Series. I've been reading Dee Henderson books since my roommates in college introduced me to them.
This book deals with Kate O'Malley who is a hostage negotiator. In the opening scenes of the book, she unknowingly becomes a hostage herself in a bank robbery gone bad. Another one of the hostages happens to be FBI Agent Dave Richman. When they make it through the hostage situation unharmed, Dave and Kate began a relationship that could be cut short by the death threats that Kate starts receiving. Determined not to let anything happen to Kate, he makes the decision to do everything in his power to keep her from being harmed.

Warning: This is a non-denominational Christian romance novel. There isn't any explicit sex and there isn't a focus on one religion. It simply covers the main character's relationship with God.
