ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 19, 2021

Being ripped from her mundane life by a swarm of police officers is not what Rae Chapin expected when she woke up this morning. Accused of a series of murders she didn’t commit, Rae doesn’t have anyone to rely on. Except him. Alec Bronson, the popular boy who broke her heart all those years ago—now a smoking hot man—is her only hope of proving her innocence and finding the person eager to kill everyone she loves.

It’s been two decades since Texas Ranger Alec Bronson last saw Rae. He shouldn’t get involved, but with one look at his childhood friend behind the steel bars and her proclamations of innocence, he’s convinced to take the case. The battle to keep his renewed feelings for the curvaceous woman hidden becomes impossible when the true killer emerges once again, targeting the only woman he’s ever loved.

Life-altering secrets are revealed as the evidence mounts, pointing toward the killer who’s determined to make Rae pay for her past. When confronted with the truth, Rae is forced to make a decision.

His life or hers.

If you love a little darkness, murder, and possessive alpha heroes with the need for control mixed into your suspense then this series is for you. Please note this book is for mature readers due to detailed sexual content, foul language, discussion of abuse, and a killer who will stop at nothing.

REVIEW: MINE TO GUARD is the third instalment in Kennedy L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult PROTECTION erotic, romantic suspense series. This is Texas Ranger Alec Bronson, and librarian Rae Chapin’s story line. MINE TO GUARD can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storylines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Alec and Rae) MINE TO GUARD follows the rekindling romance and relationship between Texas Ranger Alec Bronson, and librarian Rae Chapin. Approximately twenty years earlier, Alec Bronson left behind his high school sweetheart, and joined the military in an effort to escape the h*ll back home. Fast forward to present day wherein Texas Ranger Alec Bronson gets a phone call from the woman he has never stopped loving but a woman who is suspected in a series of murders. Enter Sweetcreek librarian Rae Chapin. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Rae and Alec, as Alec and Special Agent / hacker extraordinaire Charlie Bekham begin an investigation of their own into a possible serial killer linked to our story line heroine.

Rae Chapin’s life began to spiral out of control shortly after Alec Bronson left behind a ‘Dear Jane’ letter, a letter that all but destroyed what was left of her heart. The murder of her parents was only the beginning, and in the ensuing years, Rae would be considered the prime suspect in several more. Desperate to prove her innocence, Rae calls in the only man to have broken her heart but a man she knows will be able to find the truth. Alec Bronson’s earlier years were horrific, and shaped the man he would one day become but Alec always believed like father, like son, and refused to place the onus of his upbringing on the woman he loved.

The relationship between Alec and Rae is a second chance romance; a rekindling affair between two people torn apart by dysfunctional family dynamics, and one man’s need to run without looking back. Rae had never stopped loving our story line hero, and in the end believed she was not worthy of love. With issues of low self esteem, Rae struggled to accept that Alec would one day hope for a happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Special Agent Charlie Bekham, as well as Alec’s house keeper Sherry, and Sweetcreek Detective Danny.

MINE TO GUARD is a story of obsession and vengeance, family and relationships, abuse, secrets, lies and love. The fast paced premise is powerful and twisted; the characters are dynamic and stubborn; the romance is spicy and provocative.
