IVY
I'm the queen of handling tiny tyrants-I've been nannying since the era of bedtime bribery. But there's no guidebook for living with Dublin's most notorious grump and widower-my brother's brooding best friend.
Mr. Tall, Dark, and Tortured isn't just a challenge; he's a full-blown occupational hazard.
Under his icy shell, a fierce fire burns.
He's broken.
And I'm compelled to fix him.
But who will fix me afterward?
Because if my brother discovers our forbidden fling, it won't just be fireworks-it'll be an inferno the size of hell.
And that's before Caelon's shadowy past comes bulldozing back into our lives...

CAELON
I live for two things: my kids and a relentless pursuit of revenge for the love of my life.
Tragically, I'm failing at both.
Then Ivy Winters, my best friend's sassy little sister, blazes into my world in search of a job and a fresh start. And while she's babysitting my children, I'm stuck with a promise to her brother to keep an eye on her.
But Ivy defies my rules.
Challenges me at every turn.
And somehow, she manages to ignite a spark that threatens to melt the ice surrounding my heart.
But just as I start to see the possibility of a life beyond my pain, the past comes knocking, demanding its due.
Now, I'm faced with the ultimate choice: revenge or redemption...
