Synopsis
Calvin Parish
They call me Hero.
I
defend.
I protect.
I
ask for nothing in return, and that makes me good.
Doesn’t
it?
That which makes me the ultimate predator
also feeds dark impulses I’ve learned to control—until I bring her too close.
For years I’ve watched her from afar, but what started out as duty has become
obsession.
Cataline Ford
I work hard.
I
play by the rules.
I’m content.
My scars are quiet and invisible, and that keeps
me hidden.
Doesn’t it?
One fateful walk home, I’m taken by
someone I didn’t know I should fear. Captive and afraid, nobody will tell me
why I’m confined to this hauntingly beautiful mansion. I’m given everything; I
have nothing. He takes what he needs from me, and for that I hate him. But I
might have loved him once.
And just because you’re reading this
doesn’t mean I survive him.

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.
