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.
Some rules are meant to be broken.
Alana Callahan has spent her life in the shadow of her successful family, growing up in a world where expectations are set in stone. Choosing Juilliard over the family-favored Columbia was her first act of rebellion-her chance to carve out a life of her own, one that isn't defined by her last name or the safety net of her siblings.
Then she meets Alexis Kozlov-her father's friend, a powerful CEO, and now, her boss. He's disciplined, controlled, and completely off-limits. Alana knows she shouldn't be drawn to him, but from the moment their paths cross again, the tension is undeniable. He's older, experienced, and utterly forbidden.
Alexis tells her it can't happen. That she's too young, that her father would kill him. But the longer they resist, the harder it becomes to ignore what's between them. Because this isn't just attraction-it's something deeper, something inevitable.
What starts as a game of push and pull quickly spirals into something dangerous. And when the line between right and wrong begins to blur, Alana has to decide if she's willing to risk it all for the one person she was never meant to have.
Because some love stories aren't written in the stars. Some are written in fire.
