The Contract - Michael Jackson

She left England with nothing but an acting degree, two suitcases, and a dream too big to chase from home.

At twenty-five, California is supposed to be her fresh start. Hollywood can wait-for now, she just needs a job that pays the bills. So when she finds an advert for a live-in babysitter wanted by a "high-profile family," she applies without a second thought.

The family's identity remains a secret until the interview.

She expects a celebrity.

She doesn't expect *him*.

The moment the front doors open, she's standing face to face with Michael Jackson.

Somehow, she keeps her composure, burying the fact she's been a fan for years. One interview turns into one life-changing offer, and before she knows it, she's living inside the most famous home in the world, caring for the three children everyone knows-but seeing a side of their father no one else ever will.

Behind the cameras, the rumours, and the headlines is a man who is lonely, guarded, and carrying far more than the world could ever imagine. The closer she gets, the harder it becomes to remember why she's there in the first place.

She's his employee.

He's completely off limits.

And yet, with every passing day, the lines between duty and something far more dangerous begin to blur.

Because some contracts come with rules.

And some are destined to be broken.
