Elena Morales, a 24-year-old Afro-Latina woman with a caramel complexion, striking brown eyes, and long curly hair, has always been focused on survival. With her petite yet curvy frame, she's a vision of beauty and warmth, though she often feels out of place in a world that values wealth and privilege. When she's offered a live-in nanny position for billionaire CEO Victor DeLuca's 4-year-old son, it seems like a chance to finally build the life she's dreamed of. Victor DeLuca, at 38, is as cold and calculated as he is devastatingly handsome. A man who built his empire with an iron will, Victor has never allowed himself to love again-not since his former wife, Camilla, shattered his heart with her betrayal. Tall, blonde, and model-thin, Camilla represented everything Victor thought he wanted, but her infidelity left him scarred and unwilling to trust. That is, until he saw Elena. Months before offering her the job, Victor became captivated by Elena's kindness and fiery spirit during a chance encounter. Her warmth was the antithesis of the icy betrayal he had endured, and for the first time in years, he felt something stir in him-an obsession he could neither control nor resist. As Elena becomes part of his world, caring for his son Matteo and bringing light into his mansion, Victor's walls begin to crumble. He's drawn to her in ways that scare even him, and his obsessive desire grows with every passing day. But when Elena discovers the truth-that Victor orchestrated her hiring to keep her close-she's forced to confront the intensity of his feelings and decide if she can trust the man who holds her future in his hands.Complete
