The Au Pair

Adrienne Bertrand only came to Provence, France to escape her life in America, her toxic relationship with boyfriend Ryan, and to find and reinvent herself in silk and sunlight as an au pair for the wealthy Delamarche family. But Dominic-the silver-tongued patriarch-saw through her before she unpacked her bags.

She likes his attention, his gifts, the way he makes her feel seen. She likes the way he fucks her, too. Dominic's married-but his wife Bianka is never around, and Adri doesn't care.

To Dom, Adri is more than a distraction. She's beautiful, smart, and dangerous enough to make him imagine forever. But maybe she's just another trophy-something to own, to parade, to keep.

Then there's Matthias. Dominic's son. The one who won't give her the time of day. She should leave Mattie alone. Instead, she aches for him, chases the thrill of his indifference, until lust turns into obsession-for both of them.

In this house, desire is currency. Boundaries don't exist. And Adri-lonely, self-destructive, desperate to be loved-finds herself pulled into a spiral of obsession, betrayal, and impossible hunger.

She thinks she can keep them all. She thinks she can survive their poison. But everyone here is a villain-and she might be the worst of them all.
