Can you call someone an enemy if you haven’t seen them for the better part of a decade?
Deacon Black is perfectly content with the status quo—work, sleep, repeat.
Who cares if he’s rigid, structured, and set in his ways?
It’s a job requirement that keeps his men safe and his company’s doors open.
One phone call is all it takes to upend his life and land him right back into a past he has tried to forget.
Revisiting old ghosts is the last thing he needs.
Especially when the forced trip down memory lane includes the only woman he never wanted to see again.
Annalise Grimaldi hit the jackpot with her life—from her trust fund to her best friend, she has it all.
But her world comes crashing to a halt when her best friend vanishes— leaving behind an apartment in tatters and more questions than answers.
There’s only one person she can think of that can help in a situation like this.
She hates to make the call, but there isn’t a thing she wouldn’t do to make sure her friend is found.
Even setting aside her hatred for Deacon Black.

Hostile Territory is the first book of the Black ridge Security series by Marie James . Told in dual point of View , this book was one of best enemies to lovers trope that I have ever read.
This was my first book by this author and I am a huge fan of hers now. This book twisted my emotions and had me laughing so hard at some points. I absolutely loved the banter between Deacon and Anna. Both of them were spitfires in their own way .
Deacon is an ex military who got out and is now the owner of a security company . He married Dani , with whom he thought he will spend forever … until that didn't work out. Anna was Dani's best friend. Deacon and Anna had never gotten along , but tolerated each other for the sake of Dani. But when Dani and Deacon got divorced , Deacon left that place and never looked back.
Years later , trouble strikes at Anna's door and she has no choice but to call one man she hates but knows will help her. Deacon is surprised to hear Anna's voice , but doesn't deny her in any way.
They both meet again and we're shocked to know that their feelings went beyond their hatred. Soon both of them have trouble fighting each other and hate turns to something more powerful. What are you supposed to do when the person you have hated for so long , is the one who is supposed to be with you all along??
I just loved Deacon's cold brooding ass and Anna's sassy mouth. This book is recommended to all the military romance lovers with a complete bad ass hero and a sassy heroine who keeps him on his toes!!
