The Story of Danny Rose (Hillcroft Group #1)
Cara Dee
The Hillcroft Group, #1 | Standalone | Age gap | Military | DD/lb “Try to read his file from the Army from another perspective. Less stone-faced, devoid of emotion, SAS operator and more as…oh, I don’t know, the loving, caring, nurturing Dom that you are.” There was nothing like kicking off your vacation by realizing someone had broken in to your cabin. More than that, he was waiting when you arrived. This young guy had plagued my dreams when I’d spent two months with his detachment a couple years ago. He was cocky, volatile, and resourceful. Resourceful enough to track me down, piss me off, and get himself invited for steaks and beer. I was quickly going to learn there was a lot more to him than being a soldier with boundary issues, though. Starting the moment I accidentally spotted a small stuffed animal in his backpack. He changed everything. The story of Danny Rose went from anecdotes I occasionally shared with recruits, to…becoming my whole bloody life.

Cara Dee has expanded The Story of Danny Rose to a full novel. Originally featured in a 2023 pride anthology, The Story of Danny Rose takes characters readers will recognize from The Game Series and Auctioned Series back in time to the 90's where they are getting their start with The Hillcroft Group for PMCs. This particular novel features the eponymous Danny Rose and Emerson Payne as the main characters with a generous helping of Tenleys on the side.
That being said, you can start here. Timeline-wise, this book is earlier than the others mentioned, though loyal readers will pick up a lot of featured Easter eggs. Full disclosure, I did read this book initially as a short story prior to its expansion.
I love the idea of this Hillcroft Group era. Seeing River, Reese, Darius, and more early in their lives and careers makes their respective books even more impactful. Danny and Emerson are certainly added to the favorites list. Both Danny and Emerson are so immediately in tune with one another. Despite how many books Cara Dee writes, she manages to make each central relationship somehow unique and special.
I look forward to all future works in the Hillcroft Group and am happy to have had the opportunity to read this one early.
