She was off limits. He knew that. He watched her anyway.
For three years, Marcus kept his distance. He noticed the way she looked at him across the family table when she was just a teenager, and he did what any decent man would do. He pulled back. Showed up late. Left early. Built an entire life around staying away from her.
Then she showed up to a family wedding at nineteen years old in a yellow sundress, and every wall he built came down in one weekend.
Zara knows what she wants. She has known for longer than she is willing to admit. The man her family considers untouchable. Connected by marriage, not by blood. Older. Commanding. The kind of man who says her name like it means something and looks at her like she is the only person in any room he has ever walked into.
One weekend. One kiss that should not have happened. One night that changed both of them for good.
But the fallout is just beginning. Her father will fight to keep them apart. Her mother cannot look at her the same. A man on campus who does not understand the word no forces Marcus to show a side of himself that most people never see. And the family that raised them both becomes the war they have to survive to keep each other.
He is possessive. He is patient. He is not letting her go.
Mine to Keep is a forbidden, age-gap romance told in dual first person POV. Features a possessive, obsessed hero who falls first and falls hardest, a strong heroine who refuses to apologize for what she wants, and explicit scenes that will keep you up past your bedtime.
Standalone novel. No cliffhanger. Happily ever after.
