Synopsis

They taught him what family means...now he'll risk everything to protect it. Raised in the foster system, Kylo "Pyro" Mullins knows what it's like to have nothing to call his own. Parents, siblings, friends, possessions...growing up, he had none of these. Now an elite Night Stalker pilot, Pyro considers his teammates family-but he doesn't truly understand mine until he meets Penny and Bowie Burns. The widow and her blind daughter show Pyro a kind of bravery he's never seen on any mission, and for the first time in his life, he wants the family he's never had. One day they're living in Africa, destitute and in danger thanks to her deceased husband. The next, Penny and her six-year-old daughter find themselves being airlifted away from devastating riots by one of the Army's finest. Despite having no family in the States, Penny's happy to be returning...and even happier for Pyro's attention. The handsome pilot is kind, generous, beyond amazing with her daughter, and seemingly determined to spend even more time with Penny and Bowie when they reach Norfolk. But if there's one thing two adults raised in the system know well...happiness and stability can be ripped away at a moment's notice. And the sins of her dead husband are about to come back to haunt Penny, Pyro...and especially little Bowie. **Keeping Penny is the 4th book in the Rescue Angels Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
