About this ebook

"With realistic characters, witty banter, a well-written storyline, and a bit of action thrown in, Keeping Guard will draw readers in from the first page until the last." —Harlequin Junkie

It’s a deadly game of cat and mouse…

Willow Landry only plans to humor the adorable little girl playing matchmaker one door down. Everly wants a mommy, and she’s decided that Willow is perfect for her daddy, a handsome firefighter with the soul of an artist. But when an arsonist comes to Marsville, Willow will need all the help she can get…

Only four things matter to firefighter Parker Church: his five-year-old, pickle-loving daughter; his brothers; his art; and Ember, his accelerant detection dog. But when his beautiful new neighbor Willow is targeted by a dangerous outsider, Parker finds himself desperate to keep her safe.

As Parker and Ember work to sniff out the truth, Willow warms to the idea of being part of a family. And Ember proves she’s got what it takes to protect Parker’s one true love.

Fantastic read! I loved this book and couldn't put it down. I've enjoyed the who series, but this book was a wonderful conclusion. I've waiting to learn Parker's story, and this didn't disappoint, His story was just as convoluted as I anticipated. When he meets Willow, he is lost and refuses to engage with her...however, the best, we all know what they say about plans.... Before long, Parker and Willow are smitten with each other, even while they both deny it to others and themselves. Whe

I absolutely love the books I've read by Sandra Owen. She is a favorite author of mine. She writes well with excellent storylines and wonderful characters each and every time. This book is a favorite though. I cannot find the words to say why, but it truly touched my heart. Maybe it was partly because it is a single dad trope, which is a favorite trope. Parker is an incredible dad and brother. He was carrying so much pain in his heart. I really want to be Willow. She was beautiful inside and out. Those two and their bantering was so fun and real. And ladybug was the sweetest little girl. From the beginning to the end I smiled, laughed, and held my breath in anticipation of what's to come. I hated having to put it down. One day soon, I hope to pick it back up and reread in one sitting. It's a beautiful romance with a mystery and some suspense. The town characters crack me up. I loved seeing them from book to book. A great standalone, but you'll really want to read from book one!

What a beautiful ending to a beautiful trilogy. I loved Tristan’s story and Kade’s story but Parker’s story caused all the extra fluttery thing. I especially adored the epilogue. What a scene to finish three beautiful stories. Thank you Sandra Owens for this series ❤️
