A person with knowledge of the matter says Stokes is may be looking for a hefty advance, something along the lines of the $1.5 million that Greg Smith, a former Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) executive, received for a book about alleged sleazy behavior at his old firm.

"A secret service sex book could fetch anywhere from $75,000 to $500,000 or more depending on how many publishers bid on it," said one prominent literary agent. 

Smith, the agent noted, took advantage of the frenzy among publishers for the Goldman story after he wrote a New York Times Op-Ed that caused a stir on the Internet.

A spokesman for the Secret Service decline to comment. Stokes' attorney didn't return telephone calls and emails for comment.

Stokes was one of the supervisors of President Obama's Secret Service detail for his trip to Cartagena, Colombia, where agents before preparing for his security, allegedly paid for prostitutes after a night of heavy drinking.
