Franny Harlow never expected to become a nanny-especially not for Enzo Westbrook, the ruthless billionaire with a reputation as cold as the steel empire he built. But with bills piling up and her six-year-old son, Mason, to care for, she takes the job, determined to keep things strictly professional. Enzo has spent years shutting out the world, haunted by the tragic loss of his wife. His only concern is his five-year-old daughter, Sophie, who hasn't spoken a word since the accident. But when Franny enters their lives, everything changes. Sophie begins to smile again, Mason becomes the little brother Sophie never had, and Enzo finds himself drawn to Franny in a way he never expected. What starts as stolen glances and lingering touches soon becomes something neither of them can ignore. But Enzo is engaged to Victoria Langley, a woman who fits perfectly into his world-on paper. And Franny, still scarred by her past, refuses to be anyone's dirty little secret. When passion ignites and buried emotions rise to the surface, Enzo must make a choice: stay locked in a life of duty and guilt, or risk everything for the woman who has brought his heart back to life.

Madison Isla Romano is an only child. Her father died when she was 5. All she had was her mother, who wasn't the most pleasant mother to Madison. When her mother forces her to move back to Florida, Madison learns her mother is marrying a retired businessman. Madison, wanting to go back to New York, reluctantly searches for a job in Flordia, not wanting to depend on her mother again. She finds a job as a secretary to one of the wealthiest CEOs in the USA. When she sees her boss at her mother's wedding, she grows confused, only to find out her new boss is also her step-brother, with whom she will temporarily live.

She's a fifteen-year-old girl who killed her "father" in self-defense and lied about it to the police. She thinks she has no other family members and now she has nowhere to live but the police tell her she was kidnapped from her real family when she was little and she has six older brothers. Now that she has to go live with them, she can sense they're all hiding something from her. But what could it be?

She was raised in silence-unwanted by her powerful political family, handed over like property to forge an alliance with the city's most dangerous mafia clan. She thought her wedding day would be her end. But it was only the beginning, fate doesn't ask for permission-and hate has a way of disguising love until it's too late. Now, one lie will rip them apart. One truth can bring them back. And one question lingers in the ruins of everything they destroyed together: Will there ever be love between them?
