She’s my darkest obsession.
Liz
I never thought I’d fall in love with Parker, my brother’s best friend.
He’s a damaged man and now I’m his daughter’s nanny for the summer.
He’s grumpy and hates me but I have no idea why.
I've always wanted a happily-ever-after with my fairytale prince,
And fairytale prince he is not.
But with every inadvertent brush of our bodies and intense stares, I wonder what it would be like to have Parker’s hands on me.
I wonder if this tortured, imperfect man is actually the prince in my story.
Parker
I lost everything when my wife died.
I’m angry with the world, but mostly at myself.
All I have is my work and my daughter.
And a nanny, who is also my best friend’s sister.
Liz is full of light and joy—everything I’m not, everything I don’t deserve.
I know I shouldn’t touch her. I have blood on my hands.
Seeing her every single day, the temptation keeps getting stronger, but I’m keeping a secret she would never forgive me for.
If she ever finds out, I’ll lose her forever.
