Marco Vitale has run his family for thirteen years without making a single mistake he couldn't survive.
Then someone tries to kill him, and his youngest enforcer takes the bullet instead.
Danny Fiore is twenty-eight, dangerously competent, and entirely too warm for a man in his line of work. He smiles at people who should frighten him, makes coffee for two out of habit, and has spent two years being carefully, deliberately invisible to the one man he can't stop noticing. When he's assigned to protect the Don around the clock — moving into his townhouse, sleeping down the hall, existing in every room Marco has spent thirteen years keeping empty — invisible stops being an option.
Marco doesn't do attachment. He learned that lesson when he lost his brother, and he has upheld it with the same cold precision he brings to everything else. Danny is his enforcer. His employee. A man seventeen years his junior who hums in the kitchen and tends to be right about things Marco wishes he weren't. Whatever this is becoming, it can't happen.
It already did.
Keep is a high-heat, slow-burn m/m mafia romance set in New York City, featuring a grumpy don who only softens for one person, a sunshine enforcer with darkness underneath, and the particular danger of wanting something you've decided you can't have.
Genre: Gay Romance
