She took the nanny job to support her family back home. He’s a grieving billionaire who buries himself in work.
💬 Summary:
Valencia needs this job—her family in the Philippines depends on the money she sends home every month. Dominic St. Clair needs a nanny for his five-year-old son Jules after the last six quit. Jules hasn’t spoken a word since his mother died in a car accident, and no specialist has been able to reach him. The job: live-in nanny at his Manhattan penthouse, strict schedule, no personal involvement. Simple. Except Jules is struggling with grief and selective mutism, and he needs more than rigid rules—he needs warmth. And the billionaire boss who hides behind control keeps watching her with his son like she’s bringing light back into his dark world. When Jules speaks his first word in over a year—her name—everything changes. As professional boundaries blur and his mother schemes to separate them, a fake dating arrangement to appease his family turns dangerously real. In a house full of rules, the only one that matters is the one they keep breaking: don’t fall for each other.
