Plot Summary of The Admiral's Bride
"Six canisters of a deadly weapon of mass destruction, 'Triple X', have been stolen from a government scientific research base. The culprits - a cult-like activist society - have been identified. In charge of retrieving the missing poison are a group of Navy SEALS, led by Admiral Jake Robinson, a former Vietnam war hero. Brought in to help is leading chemical warfare expert, twenty-nine-year-old Dr. Zoe Lange. In order to complete their mission, fifty-four-year-old Jake and Zoe will have to go undercover in the organisation as husband and wife. The problems? The society leader is dangerous, insane and has his eye on the gorgeous Zoe; the organisation's base is filled with cameras that watch their every move; the younger team members are annoyingly inclined to dismiss the yummy Jake - "Admiral Hottie" - as an old man; Jake still mourns his late wife; almost everybody but Zoe has a problem with the age difference - and Jake and Zoe's undeniable attraction!!"
Laura Pearson, Resident Scholar
