About This Book
When a serial killer surfaces in Louisville, two FBI agents find themselves thrown together in ways neither planned. Charlie Bekham hides real vulnerability beneath a smirk and a sleeve of tattoos, while Rhyan Riggs is quietly outrunning a past that refuses to stay behind her. What unfolds between them is tangled up in late nights, mounting danger, and the inconvenient truth that proximity to the right person at the wrong moment can reshape everything. Kennedy L. Mitchell doesn't let the romantic tension overshadow the threat closing in around them — the stakes are genuine, and the emotional pull feels earned rather than manufactured.
As the fourth book in the Protection series, Mine to Keep delivers the confident pacing and layered characterization that distinguish Mitchell's writing from lighter romantic suspense. She balances the investigative plot against the slow unraveling of two guarded people without letting either thread go slack. Charlie and Rhyan are specific enough to feel real — their dynamic carries friction and warmth in equal measure. Readers who appreciate dual-perspective storytelling where both voices actually sound different will find this one particularly satisfying.
