Cara Darlington owns a bookshop, three cats, and a life she built from scratch. She doesn’t need rescuing.
Jasper Dean isn’t trying to rescue her. He’s trying to deserve her.
A former Marine with a riverside cabin and a growing stack of books on his dresser, Jasper has been quietly falling for Cara since the night he watched her run a Mystery Night at her bookshop—and forgot how to look at anything else. But he’s carrying a secret: a job offer from his oldest friend that could pull him away from the quiet life he’s been building around her.
When a man from Cara’s past refuses to hear the word ‘no,’ Jasper steps in without being asked. When Cara discovers he’s been making decisions about their future behind her back, she draws the line—refusing to let anyone, even the man she loves, fight her battles from a distance.
She’s done being underestimated. Done staying quiet about what she wants. And she’s going to need Jasper to stop protecting her from afar and start showing up where she can see him.
Yours to Keep is a small-town romance about a fiercely independent bookseller, a protective former Marine, and the courage it takes to let someone all the way in.
