7	The first book, No Time for Caution debuted on May 1st 2021, with a prequel novella Betrayer shortly after, and the second book planned for the second half of 2021.

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...
