COMPLETED
Olivia Washington is running away.
Not just from her life in New York, not just from her old job and not just from her past... She has packed parts of her life into boxes, and she is going headfirst to the first opportunity of a new life, all the way in Massachusetts, where the world-famous Raphael Castillo, owner of CASTACKS has hired her to be his personal nurse and caregiver.
It's a dream job until the perks come in the form of his tall, handsome, olive-skinned, Italian billionaire son, Leonardo Castillo whose arrogance irks her in the worst way and yet... draws her to him in the best way.
One very first and explosive encounter sends a whirlwind of emotional backlashes, heated moments, drunken mishaps, dark secrets, and lustful and forbidden acts into play.
It's passionate.
It's dangerous.
It's a type of life she would not have lived had she not kissed those lips of his, had she not let him touch her with those gentle hands, had she not let him draw out her deepest moans.
Even though he had a heartbreak reputation.
Even though he would rather be spotted dead than with her in public.
Even though he had his own demons that would throw them into chaos over and over.
He was fire and she played with it... amidst the growing tension of family secrets between father and son, and the risky health of her employer.
But when the heated moments are no longer just moments, and the forbidden actions don't feel so forbidden, Olivia must decide how long she can play this game to keep her job, as wounds start to open, secrets start to spill and danger comes to light.
