Retains (5)
I believe the answer is:
keeps
'retains' is the definition.
('keep' can be a synonym of 'retain')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for keeps that I've seen before include "Stores" , "Retains" .)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, the USA Today, The Mirror and The Daily Mail.
