He’s everything cold. 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.
