Keep Me

Killian Barclay wants to be left alone. After enough heartache for one lifetime, he has given up on love. His reputation as a broody Scot has only grown since he turned his famous ancestral home, Barclay Manor, into the site of raunchy house parties.

Word of those parties reaches his family, who decide to jolt him out of his routine. Their plan needs a bride, and they already have someone in mind.

Sylvie Devereaux is a New Yorker with a hard shell. Her famous parents neglected her, and she keeps everyone at arm's length. On a trip to Scotland she slips into Barclay Manor to see a well-known heirloom. There she runs into its brutish, maddening owner, and she assumes she will never see him again.

Weeks later, Killian's family makes her an offer. She would move to Scotland and marry Killian to soften his playboy image. After one year, she would walk away with ten million dollars. Sylvie accepts, though her own plan is more deceptive than Killian knows.

This marriage of convenience grows into something real as the year runs down. Sylvie must decide whether to keep a good man with a dark soul or leave, knowing Killian's heart is now hers.
