It's been used, all right, but I don't think by Tom Clancy. I can just see the cover in my head, and it's definitely by one of Clancy's ilk, but I can't quite remember (ex-Barnes & Nobler here). It was also a godawful early-'90s Steven Seagal movie set in Alaska.

However, no laws against re-using titles. I've seen more than one fic entitled "Ties That Bind" in Jossverse fandom. I say, go ahead.
