Simplistically, Torin eases his troubled mind. She becomes someone Synovi cherishes, making him not want to ever share her with anyone else.Please note: Keep You To Myself is book #1 in the Unorthodox Love series, a series of interconnected standalone contemporary urban romance books with no cliffhangers.
