Everett is the black sheep of his billionaire MacMillan family of Somerset Harbor. He’s a firefighter smoke jumper who is not into his family’s wealth and fame. He’s rarely home and he never tells anyone who he really is.

Including me.

I’m a preschool teacher who likes to follow all the rules. I never had a one night stand before but then I met a hot stranger who talked about poetry and philosophy and I couldn’t help myself.

What I didn’t know was that despite all precautions, I would get pregnant and then the stranger would ghost me.

Five years later, I run into him and realize who he is. The old feelings come back and he wants me as much as I want him.

The only problem is that he doesn’t know that we have a son together…and I don’t know how to tell him.

Keep Me Close is a steamy small town secret pregnancy billionaire romance. It’s the eighth book in the standalone Somerset Harbor series.
