For six years, Lorraine Delacour has been a ghost. Fleeing a ruthless organized crime family and a forced marriage designed to expand their empire, she has survived by constantly moving, changing her name, and never looking back. Now going by the name Dayna Thompson, she is exhausted, starving, and running out of places to hide. ​When she collapses from sheer exhaustion inside a local diner in the rain-drenched college town of Oakhaven, she wakes up looking into the eyes of an angel. ​Audrey Miller is a brilliant, elegant Art History professor, married to Tony, the genuinely kind-hearted diner owner who takes pity on the mysterious "Dayna." Without hesitation, Tony offers her a job and the spare room in their house. From the outside, Tony and Audrey's life is picture-perfect-a stable, loving marriage and a beautiful home that offers the ultimate sanctuary. ​To Lorraine, it's the perfect cover. But living under the same roof as Audrey proves to be its own kind of danger. Audrey is the first person in years to truly see her, noticing the sharp intellect and deep knowledge of art that Lorraine desperately tries to hide. As Audrey takes her under her wing to help her secure a college scholarship, the boundaries between them begin to blur. ​A slow-burn, forbidden romance ignites in the quiet moments of the Miller house. But falling for the wife of the man who saved her is a betrayal Lorraine can barely stomach, and her past is always hunting her. Falling in love means stepping out of the shadows, and being found could cost Lorraine her life-and destroy the perfect family that took her in. ​Sometimes, the most dangerous thing you can do is stop running.

The way Aria acquired her income was draining- yet worth it. One of her jobs were deemed natural while the other was labeled as unnatural or inappropriate to some. Aria didn't give a shit what those "some" thought. She knew what was necessary for her future. However, the redhead becomes a little too money hungry and finds herself in a rather. . . steamy situation. Aria Fabienne encounters 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐬 and my god is their relationship a tough one.

She hired Dahlia to take care of her kids. Not to crawl under her skin, not to make her feel again, and most certainly not to fall in love with her. Scarlett Romano, mother of two. A woman carved from ice. Cold, powerful, ruthless, and engaged to a woman who looks perfect on paper. A decision made for the sake of legacy, image, and the future of her children. Love? That's a luxury she gave up a long time ago. But then, Dahlia shows up like a crack in her perfect foundation. She's soft where Scarlett isn't. Bright where Scarlett is guarded. Her children have learned to adore her. And Scarlett- despite herself, begins to crave her. To need her. But Dahlia? Dahlia is breaking. She's unraveling. Because she was never meant to belong here. She isn't who she claims to be. She didn't take the nanny job for the paycheck, or the kids. She took it because her father is holding her brother's life over her head. She's not a nanny, she's bait. A spy. A pawn in a game she doesn't want to play. Planted inside Scarlett's home to find weakness, to expose secrets, and burn it all from the inside out. What she didn't expect was the warmth of the children. She didn't expect them to start feeling like hers. She didn't expect Scarlett's rare, shattering softness. And she sure of hell didn't expect to fall in love with the woman she was sent to ruin. Now, Dahlia's caught between two impossible choices. Between the family she's beginning to love...and the family she's so desperate to save. And if the truth ever comes out. She won't just lose her job. It won't just break hearts. It'll ruin everything.
