Billionaire hotel owner Noah York first met Claire Kramer
when they were both severely wounded at Trace Weston's
business party. Weston is the hero of the first two books
of the Mine series, Mine to Take, and Mine to Keep.
Now it is months later and Claire plans to take Noah up on
his offer of a job. What Claire doesn't know is that Noah
has other plans for her, much more sexual and personal
plans.
In MINE TO HOLD, both Noah and Claire have a wounded past.
Noah had been in the Spec Ops with Trace Weston and Drake
Archer; and later in a business where the three performed
difficult ransom retrievals of rich businessmen. One of
Noah's trickier retrievals was so grateful that he gifted
Noah with his first hotel; starting him on the road to his
current wealth. For her part, Claire had been the victim
of a politician's crazed son, Ethan Harrison. Only 16,
Claire had become the young man's obsession. After he
murdered her parents, Ethan tried to kill Claire and was
sent to prison. His powerful Senator father, however,
still blames Claire for his son's actions. He proceeds to
smear Claire and runs her reputation; as well as getting
her fired from any job she has had, basically ruining her
future, also.
Noah is Claire's last hope for protection and a decent
job. It isn't long, however, before their business
relationship turns very personal. After Senator Colby
Harrison is murdered, Claire is harassed by Gwen Lazlo and
Lane Scott; two cops/lovers who are determined to pin the
murder on Claire and Noah. When a stalker closes in on
Claire and danger surrounds her and begins to close in;
will Noah's protection be enough to save her from certain
death?
MINE TO HOLD is a taut, well-written suspense story;
probably the best written and best all-around story of the
books so far. This is the third story in Cynthia
Eden's Mine series, after the two books about Skye
and
Trace. The stories revolve around the three men who served
together and worked in a risky business venture; and Drake
Archer's story looks to be next up in the series. MINE TO
HOLD is a very good story in a series which is getting
better by the book. Although the first two books of the
series are tied together in storyline, this story can
easily be read standalone.
Nine years ago, Claire Kramer's lover brutally killed her
family, and he tried to kill her. She escaped, but she's
been haunted ever since that attack. Too afraid to trust
another man and too worried that her past will catch up with
her, Claire never gets too close to anyone. But then she
meets Noah York.
He must have her.
Noah York is a man with secrets. The world sees him as a
billionaire hotel tycoon, but Noah has a dark and dangerous
side. For years, he worked covert military operations before
he built his fortune. When it comes to death, Noah is a
master. He knows that he should steer clear of Claire, but
the white-hot attraction Noah feels for the delicate beauty
is instant--and consuming.
