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.

A human stranger crashes into a world of fur and fangs, hunted by undead ships and a priest's iron grip.

From stormy seas to a jailbreak in Mathis, chaos reigns as a cursed map points to Athena's forbidden heart. Pirates, prophecies, and a fight for survival-will they break the chains or sink in the storm?
