When Cade Winslow and Merrick Sullivan find Elle hiding in the cabinet of a gun store, they know they can’t just walk away from the fragile woman with no memory of who she is or who tried to kill her. Merrick is training for the title shot in the heavyweight division as a mixed martial artist and can’t afford distractions, but neither can he turn his back on the woman who tugs at his heartstrings.

Elle feels safe with her two protectors, and the longer she spends with them, the more she realizes that she has no desire to remember her past. Not when it could compromise her future with Cade and Merrick.

Cade has his own set of concerns when it comes to Elle, and it quickly becomes clear to the two men that for the first time in their friendship, a woman is coming between them. But what if they just kept her there? Between them. Where she belongs.

"She's ours...And we're keeping her."


Cade and Merrick are best friends, business partners, and room mates. One night as they are called in to answer a call about a break in at one of their Security client's businesses, they find more than they bargained for. They find a woman, lost, alone, hiding, with no memory except that she knows she is in danger and was being hunted. 

Elle(she remembers her name, but just snippets of other events), is fragile. She is fearful due to her past, feels beholden to these two men, unworthy, and considers herself to be a hot mess. She has a hard time seeing what they see in her. 

The men have been long time best friends and close to brothers. Even though they both have feelings gradually developing, they also both want each other to be happy and they Elle to be happy and safe. So they come up with an unorthodox solution and embark on an unconventional relationship tentatively. They were so close and they shared well without jealousy really. And she loved them both equally. I loved their protectiveness, their patience, their tender treatment and acceptance of her. They put her needs first, but they also all had intense connections and feelings both emotionally and physically. You could feel their strong need to keep her close, keep her safe, and to keep her for themselves. They were actually a very functional threesome with most of the drama not coming from the interpersonal relationships or jealousy, but mostly coming from Elle's insecurities, fear, and outside influences.  She has danger in her past and they have danger in their present that adds suspense, drama, and tension. The fact that we just get little glimpses into her past intermittently just as she does adds mystery and keeps you wondering.
