9 | No Time for Caution starts with Riona Araby as a barista with a well-connected family, an active imagination, a dirty book tucked under her pillow, and a secret desire to meet Master Right. Captain Hardin, once of the US Naval Special Warfare Development Group and now of no fixed address, has blood on his hands and a price on his head. His past collides with her present in the form of exes a bit more vengeful (and resourceful) than the usual. Just a bit. |

18 | !! The ''Triskelion Security Series'' contains examples of: |
19 | |
20 | * ContractOnTheHitman: Hardin's having to dodge a few sketchy assassins in the first chapter alone. It doesn't go well for the other dudes ... |
21 | * CoolBigSis: Evie, Sile. Also Ree to Moira. |
22 | * CuriousQualmsOfConscience: Hardin most notably in the prequel; you get the sense he's been in the same place of a fixer and hasn't hesitated taking out civilians before. There's other instances in the main series. |
23 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Hardin, natch. You kind of expect it with the genre. |
24 | * GoodIsNotNice: [[spoiler: Evie, one of Ree's sisters.]] She's whimsical and capricious in equal parts during her ''BigDamnHeroes'' moment. |
25 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: Hardin's a mercenary and a former interrogator with a checkered love history, to say the least. Even still, his time with Ree shows another side to the man. |
26 | * HiredGuns: We meet Hardin's old squad by the end of the first book. |
27 | * LethalChef: Ree. |
28 | * LightIsNotGood: J's penthouse is a solid maze of white and mirrors, even disorienting special-forces trained operatives. |
29 | * MurderIsTheBestSolution: Hardin has a particularly morbid (and funny) line regarding to this, in an argument with Ree. |
30 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Our main love interest is a lone mercenary by the time we meet him in the first book. He runs on this trope for a while. |
31 | * StormingTheCastle: Played with - Hardin and his squad rappelling up the side of J's penthouse is a modern version. |
32 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Somehow Ree and Hardin assemble a team that runs on this trope. One gets the sense we'll see them in action in Book 2... |
