Extraction

Nash McBride failed a woman once. He won’t do it again.

Six years ago, he lost his sister, Rebecca, to the monster she married. For years, he begged her to leave, to let him intervene—but she refused. And after six long years of abuse, her husband finally killed her.

Now, Nash and his team of ex-military mercenaries dedicate their lives to rescuing women from the same fate. Their sanctuary—Rebecca’s Chance—is more than just a safe house. It’s a place where broken women rebuild themselves, forging strength from their pasts.

The way Nash gets them to Rebecca’s Chance is what puts them on edge—and possibly crosses legal lines.

Someone in their life—a desperate friend, a worried parent, a sibling who refuses to watch them suffer—pays Nash to extract them from their dangerous reality. But to the women, it feels like a kidnapping.

Because, in a way, it is.

Nash doesn’t wait for them to ask for help. He takes them before it’s too late. Before they end up like his sister. Whether they see it as rescue or abduction doesn’t matter—because once they’re at Rebecca’s Chance, they’ll learn what survival really means.

For six years, Nash has followed his own simple rules where the women are concerned without fail. No attachments. No distractions.

But Alexis Tanner is different.

The polished, educated daughter of an oil tycoon, Alexis doesn’t fit the usual mold of the women who come to Rebecca’s Chance. It’s her cold detachment, the eerie lack of emotion in her eyes, that sets him on edge. Something inside her is broken in a way he’s never seen before.

And no matter how hard he tries to fight it, she gets under his skin. Attraction is against the rules. He made them for a reason.

But when Alexis finishes her training, Nash does something he’s never done—he asks her to stay. Just two weeks. Two weeks to see if what they have is more than just chemistry, more than just a fleeting desire. But when the time is up, she must fulfill the final condition.

One year. On her own. No contact with him. He needs to know she is strong enough to survive without him.

As the months tick by, an unbearable feeling settles in Nash’s gut—Alexis isn’t coming back. He knows he should let her go, give her the freedom she fought for.

But the truth is, he doesn’t know if he can survive without her.
