When twenty-two-year-old Emily accepts a job as a live-in babysitter, she never expects her entire life to change. Her new boss, Adrian King, is a successful CEO in his mid-thirties—handsome, distant, and colder than winter. After losing his beloved wife a year ago during childbirth, Adrian shuts himself off from the world. His only reason to keep going is his daughter, little Khayla, who just turned one. Emily’s job is simple: take care of Khayla, keep her happy, and stay out of Adrian’s way. But things don’t stay simple for long. Adrian watches from a distance as Emily brings warmth and joy back into his home. Her gentle laugh, her patient heart, and the way she cradles his daughter like her own—it all begins to break through his frozen walls. He knows it’s wrong. She’s his employee. She’s too young. And he swore he’d never fall in love again. But feelings have a mind of their own. As days turn into weeks, and weeks into moments too intimate to ignore, Adrian begins to struggle between his sense of duty and the desire he tries so hard to suppress. Meanwhile, Emily starts questioning the butterflies in her stomach every time their eyes meet. She only came to be a babysitter. She never thought she’d fall for her cold boss. And she certainly never expected him to fall for her, too.
