His instincts lead him on a wild chase that uncovers a sinister organization ran by the world’s most powerful and influential— that trades people like commodities and commits the unimaginable.

For murder.

Just when you think this pulse pounding series can’t take you any deeper or darker into conspiracies and corruption, think again.

Ratings and reviews

4.5 stars Mercy Wyatt is home on his family’s ranch at Christmas when he discovers a vehicle on fire. He tries to put the fire out and discovers ‘Sarah Jones’ and her daughter, Glory, who just escaped from the car. Mercy is pretty sure the name is a false one, and he knows that Sarah is hiding something, but he still feels very protective of her and Glory. They are both drawn to each other, and spend some time getting to know each other during the Christmas holiday season. Mercy discovers that Sarah is indeed hiding things. Unfortunately, she leaves the ranch before he finds out all the details. When he finally decides to go after her, he is almost too late. It turns out there’s a bounty on her head, and she’s been framed for a murder she didn’t commit. However, it’s much bigger than that, and the Keepers have a big job ahead of them. The tension in this book starts up a little slow, and then it builds and builds. These characters are so likable and they’re both so broken, and it is a joy to watch them develop and grow and get stronger. There’s a strong sense of community in this book, which is something that Sarah, now named Gray, needs. Mercy is a swoon-worthy hero, and Gray is a survivor and a heroine. The pacing stays pretty tight throughout this whole book. This is definitely an exciting and worthwhile read if you’re at all interested in the Keepers series!

4.5 Stars St. Klaire's diabolical mind (seriously, the stuff this woman knows is terrifying!) gives us another fantastic story of a strong, protective man who falls for a woman and (unbelievably to him) finds himself willing to do anything for her...and her little girl. Mercy is another of the guys that belongs to one of the secret organizations that tackles tough cases and brings people to justice. They have lots of help, and they're going to need it for this case. The woman that shows up looking for him isn't all she seems to be. She has enough scars to detail a horrific past and is determined to hide. If she helps them by telling what she know, she can help bring many powerful people to justice. Can she do it or will it bring too much trauma back to her? Can Mercy get through her memories of the past and get her to trust him and maybe love him? First of all, he has to keep her past and the evil people in it from getting her again. That may be quite the challenge, but The Keepers are always up for a challenge! I was gifted a copy of this book via Booksprout. All thoughts are my own.

This is a fast paced fall hard read where we have Mercy at home on the family ranch while he is between jobs when a car catches fire and finds a woman and child in need. I loved how Mercy tried to fight the initial attraction to Sarah aka Gray and the protectiveness he has for not only Sarah but Glory as well and how he just when he thinks he won't see them again his latest job slaps him in the face. When you start to find out about what Sarah is hiding your heart just breaks for her and then when the Brothers Keepers and co come together for her you want to cheer, but can they bring down the evil behand all the painful things Sarah has seen and endured.... this book has action, attraction, bad guys, hero's and one heck of a strong woman that deserves a HEA!

About the author

Stephanie St. Klaire is a Pacific Northwest native currently living in Portland, Oregon with her husband, five children, and two ferocious lap dogs that are used to the finer things in life like sleeping all day. When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found with a plate full of taco’s, a side of bean dip, and probably some gummy bears while being a little bit hippy and a lot bit busy mom’ing and wife’ing.

When she’s not tossing around gritty crime show inspired serial killers and diabolical bad guys, she likes to make people pee their pants a little with a good romcom. Sometimes, her worlds collide, and she writes really funny stuff right before she kills people off on the pages! She loves murder and mayhem as much as a good laugh and HEA! That’s why she’s a die-hard Hallmark junky but loves her gritty crime shows – balance!

Stephanie has always been a storyteller, with the gift of “gab”, and a life-long goal to be a writer. Unfortunate circumstances with her health, finally afforded her the time to do so. Irony at its best, she began writing her first novel at an adverse time, to escape her circumstance and explore the stories in her imagination for relief. She is happy to share those stories with her readers, and bring a little fun, entertainment, and of course smexy characters to the pages.
