HOSTILE EXTRACTION: Tri Star Securities Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 223 ratings

I was going to be placed in a virgin auction.

That’s what the rescue team who came to “save me” told me.
I think they’ve lost their minds.

Nico, my new, rich fiance loves me. He told me so.
He would never put me in an auction. He couldn’t possibly be as vile as they claim.
I’ve finally found someone to take me away from my overbearing family and repressive life.
So, when Nico offered me a ring and a proposal of marriage, I jumped at the chance.

Why should I believe my brother’s best friend–Dusty Jones, the ex-Navy SEAL, and my first love when he says Nico is a bad guy. We haven’t seen each other since the day he walked out on me, leaving me heart-broken.

Now Dusty is back to ruin everything; him and his ex-military rescue team buddies.
He claims he’s rescuing me. I claim he’s abducting me. And now he’s keeping me in some safe house, determined to brainwash me with his nonsense until I “come to my senses.”

But being trapped alone together with the man who broke my heart?
Hell no! I’ll fight him at every turn, and I’ll never give in.
Nico will come for me.
I know he will.

Dusty–
That’s exactly what I’m afraid will happen.
Asia knows too much. I’m sure Nico will want to shut her up, and that means taking her out. Permanently.
Now all I have to do is keep Asia alive long enough to give us a second chance at our happily ever after.

    Dusty & Asia's story is one for the records. The real life situation that's put in this book and the way it's told is eye opening. Definitely a must read along with the entire series. Would recommend reading in order.

    Nicole James always delivers a great book !

    I really enjoyed this book. As always, the plot was compelling with multi-faceted characters that held my interest all the way through to the end. I genuinely wanted to see Dusty and Asia get that happy ending. Their story gave me that and more.

    As ever, I look forward to whatever comes next from Nicole James.

    Another good book in this series. Glad Asia and Dusty found one another again. This book brought out the effects of PTSD on Veterans along with the importance of getting help.

    I couldn't put this book down. It's emotional, suspenseful, second chance, steamy, and gaped page turner. I loved how he finally opened up to someone and finally talked about his past your of duty and how she was able to sloth him during a nightmare. I love these two together.

    thank you valentine pr and literary management for this arc! this book will release on may 16, 2023.

    this is the first book that i have read by this author and i was pleasantly surprised by how much i enjoyed it. this is a second chance romance and includes the best friend’s little sister trope. it is a fast paced read and told in third person. the relationship between asia and dusty was very sweet. i loved that they had so much history and them getting back together was very cute. i also liked the little bit of suspense that was featured in this story! overall, a quick and pretty decent read with good romance and a good plot to match.

    “i loved you then, and i love you still.”

    Talk about close calls and missed opportunities. Dusty felt like he shouldn't be living so he took every chance he could to try and find a more extreme thrill to see if this was the day he would die and end all of his guilt. Asia was raised in such a strict religious home that she up and left one day and fell for a charmer. He was more like snake oil. Asia's brother goes to Dusty to see if he can help. What Dusty finds out will make you sick.

    Reviewed in Australia on August 27, 2023
    I thoughly loved this ending of this series. I enjoyed the ups and downs of this couple's dynamics. They seem to love each other so deeply since their childhood of first meeting. I was hoping that the story was going to last a lot longer with a hea & the couple getting married or having a family..... Who knows what will happen in the future for Ms James........
