Erica Mendez thought her life had already hit rock bottom-working long hours at a call center, stuck in a toxic apartment with a boyfriend who controlled more than just the remote. But when her best friend Blair finally helps her escape, Erica is determined to start fresh... even if the odds are stacked against her.
After losing her job and her footing, Her best friend offers her a lifeline: a position caring for her six-year-old Niece , Marie. The catch? The child belongs to Lawrence Sinclair-cold, rich, emotionally unavailable, and every bit the man who doesn't trust easily... especially not with his daughter.
A single father with no interest in love, Lawrence has kept women at a distance ever since Marie's mother walked away. But Erica is different. She's gentle but fierce, broken but healing, and somehow, she's breaking down the very walls he swore would never fall.
Can Erica prove that not all love is meant to hurt? And will Lawrence risk his guarded heart for the one woman who might be strong enough to hold it?
A story of healing, second chances, and unexpected love-The Nanny will pull at your heartstrings and keep you up at night turning the pages.
A desperate new mother must piece together her memories from the most violent night of her life - and confront the truth about the ghosts that have been haunting her ever since.
