She's everything he could have dreamed of and more. He's the only one she wants and everything she needs. But fate is cruel, and so is her sister...

Dani Valentine and her half-sister, Alyssa Romano, grew up on opposite sides of the world. Despite her rough upbringing, Dani has always tried not to envy what she doesn't have and has steered clear of the entitled and snobby Alyssa.

But when broke and hopeless is about to become lost and homeless, Dani has no other choice and accepts a rare job offer from Alyssa as a live-in nanny. This gives her a bird's eye view of her sister's picture-perfect life, including her adorable little son Gavin, and her handsome husband, Rocco.

It doesn't take long to see that perfect is an illusion and everyone is miserable.

The relationship Dani and Gavin form is instant and easy, she gives the little boy everything he's been needing. But her bond with Rocco gets a little messy as the lingering looks grow longer, and harder to ignore.

Location:

This story takes place in a made-up state, Illington, that you may recognize from some other stories I wrote. This isn't connected to those other stories that just happen to be in the same state.  Illington is a very large state. The two sisters each live on opposite ends of it, which would be nearly a twelve-hour drive.

Mountains surround the northern side and gets snowy in the winter with all four seasons, lots of forestry areas, and lakes. The north side is home to several towns, mostly small towns. Oaktown is one of those small towns, and it sits near a major railroad, making the houses cheaper due to the noise. The town itself is run down, with lots of potholes in the streets and shabby-looking houses and buildings.

The southern side of the state borders an ocean and holds the largest city in the state called, Sun City. A huge city with amazing ocean views and modern buildings and condos. It has cobblestone roads and sidewalks. Outside of the actual city are several gated communities, full of big expensive mansions. Sun City does also see all four seasons; however winters are very mild.

This story takes place in the late spring of 2010.
