Keep Me
Book 1 in the Sinful Manor series
Written by Sara Cate, narrated by Kelli Tager and Will Watt
Out now!
Their marriage of convenience is anything but…
All Killian Barclay wants is to be left the hell alone. He’s had enough heartache to last a lifetime, and he has no more need for love—earning him the reputation of a broody Scot who’s hosting raunchy house parties out of his famous ancestral home. The rest of his family conspires to shake Killian out of his routine.
New Yorker Sylvie Devereaux is tough as nails—as the daughter of famous yet neglectful parents, she’s grown a hard shell and keeps everyone at arm’s length. When she sneaks into Barclay Manor during a trip to Scotland to get a glimpse of a famous heirloom, she doesn’t anticipate facing off against grumpy highlander. And she certainly didn’t expect to ever see him again.
Yet just weeks later, she’s approached by Killian’s family with a proposal—move to Scotland and marry Killian to improve his playboy reputation, and after one year, she’ll walk away with ten million dollars. Sylvie agrees, but as she grows closer to Killian and the end of their year together, she has to decide: Is the love of a good man with a dark soul worth keeping, or is she willing to break Killian’s heart now that it’s well and truly hers?

With half the world on their tail—including her beautiful, faithless ex Liv, who Des is definitely over—Des must search for answers for why so many are willing to kill, maim, and torture to get their hands on Squid.

Rian, meanwhile, has volunteered his services for the gala believing that the rare items up for auction will attract Ada’s eye.
