Keepsake

In the left corner stands a six-foot-three machine of pure mass, an ex-MMA fighter with a bad attitude and fists of steel.

He's my best friend's brother.

After a tragedy, I have to put my needs aside to take care of her three children. As if that's not hard enough, her older brother is now breathing down my neck. He barrels into my life, and declares himself my new roommate.

But hey, there are worse fates than sharing your house with a retired MMA fighter with piercings down his–

Our chemistry is undeniable, but he's forbidden. I try to push my feelings aside but we grow closer. His guilt and grief reveal a softer side to the man known as a bull in the ring.

There's nothing I want more than to have him to myself but I'm not sure if I'm ready to risk everything and fall for the perfect fantasy. Grief brought us together, but secrets might tear us apart.

Keepsake is a standalone, age gap, slow-burn opposites attract story with dark elements and a happy ending.
