HER BOSS,HIS DESIRE
Serena Hart never imagined that one job could change her entire life.
After losing her parents, Serena spends every day struggling to take care of her younger sister while trying to survive in New York. Love is the last thing on her mind. She has no time for heartbreak, no space for distractions, and definitely no interest in getting involved with rich men.
Then she gets hired as a nanny for Kael Vale’s daughter.
Kael Vale is everything people fear and desire — a billionaire, powerful CEO, and widowed single father known for his cold heart and emotionless personality. Since losing his wife two years ago, he has shut the world out completely, dedicating his life only to his daughter, Lia.
But the moment Serena walks into Vale Manor, something begins to change.
Lia, who hasn’t smiled in years, instantly grows attached to her. The quiet warmth Serena brings into the mansion slowly breaks through the walls Kael spent years building around himself.
What starts as simple attraction soon becomes something far more dangerous.
Because Kael cannot stay away from her.
And Serena is terrified of falling for a man who carries so much pain behind his eyes.
As emotions deepen, jealousy, gossip, past grief, and forbidden desire threaten to pull them apart. Serena knows loving Kael could destroy the peaceful life she fought so hard to build for herself and her sister.
But Kael has already made up his mind.
He wants her.
And for the first time in years, he is willing to fight for love again.

Chapter: Chapter 14_what Damon sawDamon knew he should leave.He really did. The movie was over. Lia was asleep. Mrs. Rowan had disappeared upstairs.And Kael was standing in the middle of the living room with his daughter asleep against his shoulder like she weighed nothing at all. It was the perfect time to go home. Unfortunately, Damon had never been particularly good at minding his own business.Which was exactly why he was still standing there. Watching. Observing. Trying very hard not to smile. Because now he was certain. Absolutely certain. And it was probably the funniest thing he'd witnessed all year. Kael Vale was in trouble. The kind of trouble money couldn't solve. The kind of trouble board meetings couldn't fix. The kind of trouble that arrived quietly and completely ignored whether you wanted it or not.Serena.Damon almost laughed.If somebody had told him six months ago that Kael would spend half an evening pretending not to watch a woman while actually watching her constantly, he would have demanded m

Chapter: Chapter 14_Too closeThe idea had been Lia's and that alone should have warned everyone because whenever Lia came up with an idea, saying no usually became impossible. Which was exactly how Serena found herself sitting in the Vale family living room on a Friday evening while an animated movie played on the enormous television.Mrs. Rowan had disappeared upstairs after claiming she was "too old for cartoon dragons."Damon had laughed.Mrs. Rowan had threatened him with a wooden spoon.And somehow that had only made him laugh harder.Now the movie was twenty minutes in, and Damon was still occasionally making comments that caused Lia to giggle.Serena sat between them on the large sofa.At least that had been the original arrangement.Somewhere along the way, Lia had stretched out across the cushions and stolen half of Serena's space.Which meant Serena was now sitting much closer to Damon than she'd intended.Not that she noticed.At first.The room was comfortable.Warm.The lamps had been dimmed, leaving

Chapter: Chapter Twelve _A Thought That Wouldn't Leave"You like him."Serena nearly dropped the phone.For a moment, she was too shocked to respond.Then she let out a disbelieving laugh."Mira.""I'm serious.""You've lost your mind.""I haven't.""You have."Mira's laughter echoed through the phone.The sound was familiar. Comforting.Because whenever her younger sister sounded this confident, it usually meant she had already decided she was right. And unfortunately, she often was."You should hear yourself whenever you talk about him.""I do not talk about him.""You literally just said his name three times.""That is not talking about him.""It absolutely is."Serena pinched the bridge of her nose. This conversation was going exactly where she did not want it to go. Thankfully, a voice called from somewhere behind Mira."Oh, hold on."Serena heard movement. A door closing. Then Mira returned."Sorry.""What happened?""Nothing important."The answer came too quickly.Serena narrowed her eyes."Mira.""What?""What are you hiding?""No

Chapter: Chapter Eleven _The CallThe smile stayed with Serena longer than she wanted to admit.Even after Kael disappeared down the hallway with Lia dragging him toward whatever emergency involved a frog. Even after the laughter faded. Even after the house settled into its usual rhythm again. She still found herself thinking about it.That smile. Small. Gone in seconds.Yet somehow it felt more dangerous than anything else. Because Kael Vale smiled so rarely that when he did, it meant something. At least it felt like it did. Serena was still sitting beside the piano when her phone vibrated. The sound startled her. She glanced at the screen.Mira.Immediately, her expression softened. She answered before the second ring."Hey."There was a pause.Then her sister's voice came through."Took you long enough."Serena smiled."It was one ring.""It felt longer.""You're dramatic.""I learned from the best."That earned a laugh. A real one. The kind that only Mira could pull from her. For a moment, everything felt familiar.

Chapter: Chapter Ten_Almost SomethingThe last note lingered in the room long after Serena lifted her fingers from the keys.For a moment, nobody spoke. The silence wasn't awkward. It felt full. Like the music was still there somehow, floating between them. Serena looked down at her hands. She hadn't played in months. Not properly. Not since life had become a constant cycle of responsibilities and worries. Yet somehow she'd forgotten all of that while sitting at the piano.The realization made her smile slightly.Then Lia threw herself at her."That was beautiful!"Serena laughed as she wrapped her arms around the little girl."I think that's the fastest you've ever moved.""I liked it.""I can tell.""No, really."Lia pulled back dramatically."I loved it."That earned another laugh from Serena. Across the room, Damon looked unusually quiet. Which was probably the most shocking thing that had happened all day.Serena raised an eyebrow."Are you alright?""No."Damon shook his head."I'm emotional."She rolled her eyes."Th

Chapter: Chapter Nine_ The Way He Looked At HerThe living room was unusually loud. Not because of Lia but Because of Damon.Serena had learned very quickly that Damon had a gift for making his presence known without even trying. One moment the house would be quiet.The next, Lia would be laughing so hard she could barely breathe. Which was exactly what was happening now."You cheated," Lia accused."I adapted.""You cheated.""I prefer the word adapted.""That's because you're guilty."Damon pressed a hand against his chest."Lia Vale, I am deeply offended."The little girl dissolved into laughter.Serena shook her head from her spot on the sofa. A smile tugged at her lips despite herself.The board game spread across the coffee table had long been abandoned. Somehow Damon had turned a simple game into a dramatic courtroom trial where he was apparently the victim.Or at least that was his version of events."You are teaching her bad habits," Serena informed him.Damon looked horrified."Me?""Yes, you.""Serena, I am a role model."
