Excerpt
He’s swimming toward me, closing in, and I retreat until my shoulder blades hit the
lip of the pool.
“Your fate is in my hands,” he says.
“I accept that,” I say. His surprised expression is so rare that I almost lose my train
of thought. “What I can’t accept is not knowing my fate. If you’ll just tell me if I’ll
live or die, tell me what I’m doing here, what my purpose is, and if it’s . . . forever, I
promise—I will be better.”
“You ask for a lot.” He steps within inches of me so our faces almost touch.
“Tell me that, and I won’t ask for anything else.”
He raises his hand to run his thumb over my cheekbone. The room is silent save for
the acute splash echo of pool water. His fingers slide down my face and under my
hair, where they wrap around the nape my neck. “You look sexy when you’re wet,
Cataline.”
My eyelids threaten to close, but I force myself to hold his gaze.
He lowers his mouth to my ear. “You’d make a beautiful mermaid,” he whispers.
“But, then, how would I fuck you?”

Keep Me (A Hero Novella)
“I will disappoint you. I will hurt you. If I could be different, I would. But I don’t
think I can.”
Declarations and sacrifices have been made. After three years, a better life is
finally on the horizon. But when the past leaves marks that are both painful and
permanent, is there ever such a thing as starting over? Can memories be replaced or
forgotten—and should they be?
Keep Me is a follow-up novella for Hero readers who want a glimpse of life after
breakfast. It is only intended to be enjoyed after Hero and is not a standalone. It is
entirely optional and not essential to the original plot.
