Operation Poppy details the brutal price of naval supremacy: deadly acts of espionage; the staggering loss of life in a clandestine war of subterfuge, politics, and murder; and a spectacular showdown between Spetznatz forces and US Navy SEALs.

A notorious wildlife criminal is trolling Norwegian waters, preparing to illegally capture a live killer whale for a mega-aquarium. Before you can say Call Me Ishmael, Special Agent Poppy McVie's on the case. She'll be damed if she'll let one more killer whale be sold into slavery, sentenced to live in a bathtub for the rest of his life. Armed with attitude, Poppy and her new partner, Special Agent Dalton, go undercover to avoid the political entanglements of a whaling nation. But working so closely with Dalton causes entanglements of its own. No matter the danger, Poppy's determined to hook the one man who's never been caught.

Armed with a shiny new U.S. Wildlife Service badge, Poppy McVie's on a mission to save all critters, great and small. That is, if she can keep her nose out of trouble, her sass in check, and her wild red hair pinned under that damn mountie hat. Plucked from training, she's sent undercover to Costa Rica to infiltrate a wildlife trafficking ring. Finally, her chance to make a real difference. When her new partner, Agent Dalton, orders her to be a good "wife" and stay out of his way, her first impulse is a swift kick to the groin. But no--a little yogic breathing--she's got this. Doing some reconnaissance of her own, Poppy hooks up with Noah Kingston, a sexy animal rights activist who shares her penchant for fine wine. With the help of his van-surfing friends and a one-armed monkey, Poppy plunges into the sordid underworld of black market wildlife trade, risking her badge--and her life--to exact her own kind of justice, Poppy-style.
