My body craves him. My mind resists him. My heart fears him. 

Noah Hayes is a sinful temptation with a sex appeal, unlike any man I’ve ever met. He’s also twice my age...and my new boss. After years of working a job I despised, for the sake of a family I was forced to support, I had enough. Finding a new job should have been simple, but working as a nanny for billionaire Noah Hayes is anything but. He may be arrogant and self-involved, but I can’t stop myself from wanting him. When I find myself in his arms and in his bed, I allow myself a moment to hope. But how could I have known what was coming for us...and how it would break us?  



Nanny for the Billionaire

I couldn’t blame her. This awkwardness between us was all on me. The stiff way she held herself, her fingers gripping the box of chocolate too forcefully, reminded me of what I had to do. I couldn’t postpone it any longer. 


“I’m sorry for what I did the other day,” I said, my tone somber and low.


She wasn’t about to make it easy for me. Not that I deserved leniency. She wasn’t the one who practically mauled an employee in his own kitchen. 


“No, please, let me finish. What I did was unacceptable and I just wanted to say that I’m sorry and that it will never happen again.” 


She simply looked at me for a long while, and just when I was about to repeat myself, she said, “Thank you for your apology.”


I felt the tension surrounding me instantly lighten… then I realized from the look on her face that she wasn’t done talking.


“I know I work for you, but I think for Chris’s sake we should keep our distance.”
