She was hired to care for a child. She ended up rewriting the rules.
Annastasia didn't sign up for this.
She thought being a live-in nanny would mean bedtime stories, spilled juice, scattered toys, and maybe a few tantrums. Instead, she's stuck in a mansion with Vincent Aldridge- a man who makes silence feel like a threat and rules sound like warnings.
There's a diary used for the most unexpected way- surveillance. There's a daughter who barely speaks. And there's something seriously wrong with this house.
But Anastasia's got jokes, survival instincts, and a knack for pretending everything's fine. She just needs to keep her head down, follow the rules, and avoid asking questions.
Because in this house, secrets aren't just dangerous- they're written down.
A Note from the Author
Welcome,
This story isn't your typical Nanny romance story, and it's not even close. If you're looking for a "Nanny-falls-in-love-with-the-Grumpy-Dad" story, you're in the wrong house. There is no sunshine here. There is no "happily ever after" for these people.
This is a story of retribution, not romance. If you're looking for a heart-throb, you might find one-but he's probably a monster. Don't say I didn't warn you.
This story is a study of two things: the people we pretend to be, and the secrets we leave in the margins of a diary. If you are looking for a hero, you won't find one here. You will find Anastasia, and she is busy observing you.
Watch the details. In this house, even a misplaced sentence can be a weapon.
Make sure to notice even the smallest details, because Anastasia surely does.
Farewell, and hope you enjoy!
