From the author of Mastered and Dominated comes the third of the Enforcers novels. Kept is the searing story of a woman who finds sanctuary in surrender... He can’t change who he is. A horrific childhood has made Silas the man he is dangerous, distrustful and demanding. He’s lived in self-imposed solitude, convinced that no woman could ever accept his need for absolute control—in business and pleasure. That is, until a young violinist walks into one of his buildings and into his life. She can’t change what she wants. Hayley has been struggling to fulfill her father’s dying for her to attend a prestigious music school in New York City. But even working multiple jobs, she can’t afford the tiniest of apartments. Seeing her hopeless and near tears, Silas vows to help and protect her, no matter the cost to himself. But when Hayley meets his every demand with unwavering acceptance and love, he is overwhelmed by her goodness and gentle spirit. He knows that the dark stain on his soul can never be erased—and rather than risk destroying the most beautiful person he's ever experienced, he'll have to do the hardest thing he's ever had to do. Let her go. But he's totally unprepared for the lengths to which Hayley will go to fight for his love and for a future brighter than the sun...

Silas is my favorite character in this series. He is Drake's enforcer who can intimidate Drake's other men who refer to each other as brothers by choice. He sees himself as a monster/killer and keeps himself secure behind his locks and monitors when at home alone. He's endured a horrendous childhood growing up and is surprised at the unfamiliar emotions that comes when he sees Hayley Winthrop when she is asking about an apartment in his building. Hayley is trying to accomplish her late father's wishes to graduate from a prestegious music school with her violin talents, but she is having a hard time making enough money to keep the dream alive. She makes Silas feel things he never thought he'd experience and she brings joy into his life with her music that he hears when she practices in her apartment (frankly I find it unlikely in the real world that playing a musical instrument would be allowed especially at 2 am in an apartment building. )Hayley has a backbone despite her constant tears so she isn't a doormat despite her innocence. Silas may be Drake's baddest of bad asses, but who knew underneath that tough exterior, lies a sweetheart, dominant and controlling , but a sweetheart nevertheless when it comes to Hayley.
