Stranded

Book 2 of 5 - Romantic Suspense - Hurt/Comfort - Trauma - Age Difference
The Auctioned Series is a journey packed with action, nail-biting suspense, family, and love. In Gray and Darius's fight for freedom and a future where they aren't haunted by the ghosts of their pasts, they'll make you laugh, cry, swoon just a little bit, and probably yell at your e-reader.
It was supposed to be an easy in-and-out job, Darius noted sourly to himself as he wrapped his gunshot wound. But this job had something none of the others did: Gray Nolan.
Like Murphy's Law advised, anything that could go wrong, would. A mission to save one hometown favorite son was turning into a quest to rescue thirteen traumatized young men against odds so steep, he'd need an oxygen mask to scale them.
Facing new dangers and an uncertain future, Darius kept Gray close and was soon forced to accept that this had become much more than an assignment. For a man whose reputation was built on being ice-cold under pressure, Darius was beginning to discover how good it felt to burn.
This story takes place in Cara Dee's Camassia Cove Universe, a fictional town where all books/series' stand on their own, unless otherwise stated. The Auctioned Series should be read in the following order: Auctioned, Stranded, Deserted, Played, and Finished.
