Prologue

Jake Decker was turning twenty-seven, single, and completely unprepared for the birthday gift he actually got: news that he's a father.
Years after a brief fling with Emily, her sudden death leaves behind five-year-old twins Jake never knew existed. Now he's got a house full of tiny socks, a son who won't speak, a daughter who never stops, and a family that shows up uninvited to make sure he doesn't do this alone.
He's figuring it out one impossible day at a time. Then Piper and Noah's kindergarten teacher walks into his life, a beautiful widow raising a thirteen-year-old daughter of her own, who knows exactly what it costs to love someone you're terrified of losing.
Tamara Bennett isn't looking for love. She's definitely not looking for a man ten years younger with two kids and a chaotic found family of self-proclaimed "uncles." But Jake and his twins have a way of getting under her skin, and some things are worth the risk.
Keep Me is a heartfelt, steamy age-gap romance about second chances, chosen family, and learning that love doesn't always arrive the way you expect it to.
