After a career of excitement and danger, former U.S. Air Force special agent Alex Porter retires and looks forward to leading a simple, civilian life. He celebrates the successes of his daughter, a college honor student and pilot candidate in the ROTC program, and is just starting to dip his toe into the dating pool again. But when he comes upon an accident-turned- crime scene involving New England Mafia don Vince Vionelli, Porter lands in serious hot water.

Vionelli is charged with murder, and Porter is the U.S. Justice Department's star witness against the crime boss. With the trial just days away, Vionelli's son terrorizes Porter and his daughter, forcing Porter to choose between testifying against the Mob and saving his own and his daughter's lives. But when other, even more deadly threats begin surfacing, Porter suspects there's yet another player in this ruthless game-one who wants him eliminated no matter what.


Full of danger, deceit, and revenge, Solemnly Swear is an action-packed suspense thriller that explores the fragile balance between justice and self-preservation.
