For context, I Was catching up on Netflix some older episodes of Madame Secretary, which is a shamefully over simplified representation of Capitol Hill drama mixed with implications of covert ops and some normal family dynamics. So spare us that critique (if I dare ask.)
As I watched, a story framework formed quickly for me: MC is an ex covert operative (pick ur agency: special ops, force recon, seals, CBP or CIA) who has been put out to pasture b/c he has been deemed “addicted” To the kill.
He’s also a savant at seducing unsuspecting women.
As a regular citizen, He stumbles onto the circumstance that if he gets involved with a married woman, a potential confrontation with her husband could ensue, giving him an outlet for his underlying passion (see above.)
And so he goes on the road in search of more.
It’s way outside my literary comfort zone, but I’d read the hell out of this.
