AVERY
I should have felt bad for lying, but one look at my new employer, and I knew I’d never give up my secrets.
Each day it grew harder and harder to be professional with Royce Jacobs around. He was a mystery, and I needed to know more.
The possibility of losing the very job I needed to get out of this town and away from my past shouted for me to stop, but I couldn’t.
I needed him like I needed oxygen to breathe.
ROYCE
Avery Clark would be my downfall. She was my little girl’s nanny, and temptation personified. Every second around her, I wanted her unlike any other before.
I knew I couldn’t screw this up. I needed her in my life, but I couldn’t help but want to uncover what she had been hiding from her very first interview.
It was going to take all my power to not cross the line and bring Avery into my bed. The only problem was, I wasn’t sure I wanted to be powerful anymore. I wanted her to he to be my undoing.
