Kid Shelly loves working with children. Perhaps it's because of her odd name, but she's always wanted to teach children and show them the love of Jesus. It's just that sometimes there just isn't enough of that same love for some of their parents. And there really isn't enough love for her least favorite parent, Adrian Lawson. He's difficult. He's moody. He's notorious for picking up his son late every day. So when her least favorite parent asks her to be his nanny at a price well worth her time and she reluctantly accepts, Kid learns what it really means to offer grace unconditionally to a man who may just be the son of the devil himself.

Adam, the soft heart hiding behind dry wit and late-night texts. Oliver, the quiet storm with a past he's buried too deep. Just when life begins to feel safe again, a past drenched in blood resurfaces. What Raelyn doesn't know is that her family's legacy runs darker than bedtime stories. With love, betrayal, and revenge tangled into one mess of truth, the Fluor family must protect the one good thing they have left - even if it means tearing everything else apart.

Excerpt: "You could marry me." George Devereaux looks at me like I've suggested we change our identities, move to Siberia, and take up goat herding. "You're not serious. Why would you want to marry me?" "If it's not you, it wouldn't be anyone." As I scramble for words, my usual snappy comebacks fail me. "I mean, I didn't mean it like that. I just don't think I would want to get married ever. So I might as well marry you." His expression of blank confusion shows a frisson of hurt before resuming its impassive state. "You really know how to romance a man," he says softly. "Prepare to be disappointed every day of your life." I don't know how to tell him that I already do. "It's on, then." - Georgia Philips: Reckless. Eccentric. Guarded. The 24-year-old model doesn't think there's a perfect man for her, and not just because of her high standards.

The artist always been a drifter, but when he decides to put down roots in New York, his American visa expires. He can either fake a marriage-or get a job. Neither of them is looking for romance.

And then, as if God is testing her, she meets a man who holds all the qualities she was born to hate - wealth, status and arrogance. But that man is determined to succeed in winning her. So what is she to do? Succumb to his charms? Or hold true to the beliefs of her French comrades?
