When a tragic plane crash wipes out Romero Monteiro’s family and a near-fatal accident leaves him emotionally shattered, he retreats into desolation, until his new caregiver, Carmen Valiente, steps in. In her mission to help him heal both physically and emotionally, she uncovers dark secrets behind the crash and the accident. Carmen finds herself in a deadly game of survival, where someone is determined to finish what they started. With danger closing in, what started as a professional relationship, became something more. Carmen may be Romero’s only hope, but can she navigate his icy attitude before it’s too late to save him?



Under My Care

Carmen shook her head again. “I can never think of you being that, sir.” 


“Then what makes you think you can just brush off what happened last night? Pretend like nothing happened?” Romero queried, his voice getting colder. 


Carmen stiffened but didn’t flinch. “My apologies, but that’s what I intend to do, sir. We have more important things to focus on. Your health and business. A meaningless kiss shouldn’t bother you.” 


Romero leaned back on the headboard, his jaw twitching, and his eyes never leaving hers. “I see…” that was all he said as he reached for the cup of coffee and took a sip, his gaze still fixed on her. 


Carmen forced herself to hide her nervousness. “If there’s nothing else, Mister Monteiro, I’ll get ready and go to the office,” she said. 


Romero didn’t respond right away. He simply watched her, his expression unreadable. After what felt like an eternity, he gave a small nod. “Do as you wish.” 


Bad Timing
