He needs a new heart to survive. He didn’t expect his grumpy boss to steal it. ARIS My life has an expiration date. Diagnosis: heart failure. My only hope is a private transplant I can’t afford, so I’m working every odd job in the city to buy myself a future. When I see an ad for a nanny position paying fifteen hundred a week, I don’t care that I have zero experience. I’ll handle a sassy five-year-old and her impossible father if it means staying alive. But I wasn't prepared for Nick. He’s cold, distant, and dangerously handsome. I'm here to save my life—not lose my heart to a man who thinks I’m just the help. NICK My life is a chaotic wreck of boardroom meetings and my daughter Elodie’s temper tantrums. I’m weeks away from launching the app that will define my career, and I’m desperate. Enter Aris. He’s too young, too bright, and far too charming for my peace of mind. I gave him a day to quit. Instead, he did the impossible: he tamed my daughter and started dismantling the walls I spent years building. I told myself to keep it professional. I told myself he’s off-limits. But as the late nights turn into whispered secrets, the lines aren't just blurring—they're disappearing. Aris is hiding something, and I’m beginning to realize that the one thing I can’t outsource is the way he makes me feel.
