An unlikely friendship, a stalking ex, and a serial killer on the loose.
FBI profiler Charlie Bekham prides himself on three unique talents: hacking any database, making women swoon with a cocky smirk, and letting no one see the desperate man buried deep. When a string of murders in Louisville, KY, requires extra help, he’s forced to partner with the brilliant yet shy Special Agent Rhyan Riggs to hunt the killer. Long nights of working the case fan the growing attraction between them, making Charlie question if “just friends” is enough.
Special Agent Rhyan Riggs is running from her past—a narcissistic ex, to be exact. Determined to move on from the terrible breakup, she focuses solely on her career… until him. Special Agent Charlie Bekham. Covered in tattoos, cocky as hell, and bad-boy hot, he’s exactly the type she should avoid at all costs but can’t seem to stay away from.
With more victims and at a dead end, Rhyan does the unthinkable—she puts herself in the killer’s sights. When the killer takes the bait and disappears with the woman Charlie’s fallen for, can he piece together the remaining clues before Rhyan becomes the next body found?
Mine to Keep is the fourth book in the interconnected standalone Protection Series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but because of character crossover, reading from book 1, Mine to Protect, is suggested. Due to foul language, discussion of emotional abuse, mention of suicide, and detailed intimate scenes, this book is recommended for readers 18+.

This is book 4 of the series but can be read as a standalone book. There are some interconnected characters but the author does a good job of explaining the backstory.
Charlie Beckham is an FBI profiler and expert hacker seems to be on the hot list in this newer department office. The women all look at him as a piece of meat and only want one thing from him. When he pushes to help an out of town police department on a case his friend sent him for a second set of eyes. Charlie is a patient man and he is quick to do anything he can to make Rhyan aware of the strong woman she is. He wasn't looking for a woman, or Rhyan but somehow she slipped right into his heart.
Rhyan is a strong, confident FBI agent who should really be the section chief but due to her uncomfortable anxiety it isn't her place. She hides her anxiety and deep seated poor self confidence due to her overpowering ex from everyone but her bestie Olivia. When working alongside with Charlie she can't seem to hide it from him, but she is surprised when he doesn't hold it against her, no he does everything to show her the strong sexy woman she is on the outside.
This book is full of mystery and suspense with a solid side of romance and the balance is perfect. The author has you holding on to the story to see who is behind things. Will you figure it out or will you be completely surprised by the twists and turns?
