Kept as His Books in Order

Kept as His is a three-book dark mafia romance series built around men who have power, enemies, money, and a very firm belief that protection and possession are nearly the same thing. It is contemporary Sara Fields, with organized crime danger rather than fantasy biology or alien conquest.

Mine to Keep introduces Cyrus Holt, a former or returning mafia power who finds Ava on the run and decides she is under his protection. That protection quickly becomes something more controlling, more intimate, and more permanent. The book establishes the series mood: a frightened heroine, a violent world, and a hero who sees himself as the only safe place in it.

Mine to Hold follows Mila, a thief who steals from the wrong man and ends up caught by Jon. Mine to Take continues the same world of criminal power, obsession, and women who get pulled into lives they cannot easily leave.

The series is best for readers who want mafia romance with strong possessive heroes, danger from rival men, and a heavy D/s tone.

Start with Mine to Keep. Each book has its own couple, but the first one gives the clearest idea of what the series promises.
