Au-pair Stories

Eefje, a twenty-something Dutch girl with her head full of rainy cafés, rolling hills, and brooding British accents, has always dreamed of living somewhere..anywhere in the UK. So, she takes the plunge and signs up for a temporary au pair position across the Channel, determined to test if her romantic idea of England matches the reality. What starts as an experiment quickly turns into something far more complicated when she meets him, the guy who feels like he was written just for her. Charming, thoughtful, and straight out of one of her favorite slow-burn romance novels, he makes her feel seen in a way no one ever has. But temporary stays come with expiration dates. As her time in the UK runs out, Eefje must face the reality of goodbyes, long distances, and the ache of a love that might not fit into her perfectly planned future.

*The smug ass just smirked at me and I knew he wasn't going to let me pass without getting what he wants. Shit. 'Well two could play that game' I thought to myself as I stepped closer to him while biting my lip. I could see the shock register on his face and saw his throat move as he swallowed heavily. Not so smug now, I grinned internally. I stepped even closer to him and just when it seemed like I would reach on my toes to kiss him I instead ducked under his arm and ran out of the room giving an evil laugh. I heard him growl and yell "you're gonna pay for that pixie". I looked at him over my shoulder, gave him a wink and blew him a kiss as I walked into the twins' room to get them ready for bed, a shiver going down my spine from the promise I saw in his eyes when he delivered his threat. Well, I have a feeling things are going to get interesting around here.* When 24-year-old Alison decided to au pair for the Griffin family, she never expected to find love, especially not with the hulking 27-year-old Bellamy with his naughty smirks and teasing words.
