Maura Anderson was out of options.
Her adopted daughter, three-year-old Katie, is her entire world, and no heartless legal system was going to take her baby away. She did what any mother would do. She grabs Katie and runs.
Sheriff Alan Parks believes in the law, following it and enforcing it to the letter. Then Maura Anderson shows up in his small, quiet town, and he knows she’s running from … she’s running from something. At first, he assumes she’s running from someone – an ex-husband or boyfriend – but when she won’t confide in him he starts wondering. Who is this woman who’s captured his heart, and what or who is she afraid of? When he finds the answers, however, a part of him wishes he’d never asked the question. Because how can he help her when he represents what she’s fleeing . . . the law.

Hard to put book down, wanting to anxiously know what was going to happen next.
A very heart warming and fantastic story. Will hold your interest to the end.
So much of Maura’s life is falling apart except the desperate love she has for her adoptive daughter. Packing up in the middle of the night her and Katie travel as far from Miami as they can. Eventually they find solace and love in Wyattsville.
But Maura will still have to face her past and the consequences of her actions.
I’d been reading dark romances and mysteries / thrillers, so this book was a nice change for me. I enjoyed the story line and the characters! This is definitely a book you want to read!
The actions that Maura / Maureen took to protect her daughter where very relatable, I would probably do the same! I enjoyed reading as the sheriff and her fall in love, how he doesn’t let her go just because she’s hiding something, and even when he finds out what she’s hiding.

Excellent book. Enjoyed the interesting characters and plot.
I enjoyed reading “Keeping Katie”. It was very entertaining.
Different take on traditional romance. Mom on run with adopted 3 yo daughter after validity of adoption is called into question meets a “by-the-book” lawman.
Good book to read .. Page turner.
Slow didn’t even finish
