Description

Jack St. Claire is barely holding his life together. A grieving single father, he throws himself into work running a brand-new kink club in Paris, building walls around his heart instead of facing his loss. Realizing he can’t keep doing everything alone, he hires a live-in nanny to help care for his daughter.

Camille Aubert never intended to apply for the job. She only came to return a love letter she found inside a book—but a simple misunderstanding lands her the nanny position in Jack’s home.

Soon after arriving, Camille discovers a mysterious room in the apartment that reveals a darker side of Jack—one he keeps carefully hidden. As curiosity turns into undeniable attraction, the line between professional and personal begins to blur.

Camille finds herself drawn to the wounded man behind Jack’s guarded exterior, while Jack struggles with feelings he thought he had locked away forever.

But with grief, secrets, and intense desire between them, they must decide whether love can truly heal old wounds—or if their connection will only deepen the scars.
