Jack St. Claire is desperate. A grieving single father, he buries himself in his work—running a brand-new kink club in Paris. Instead of handling his grief, he’s built a fortress around his heart, and it’s time he hired someone to help him take care of his daughter before things get worse.

Camille Aubert wasn’t looking for a new job. She just wanted to return a lost love letter she’d found within the pages of a book. But when she’s mistaken for a job candidate and hired as Jack’s live-in nanny, something tells her this is exactly where she needs to be.

Shortly after arriving, Camille discovers a strange room in the apartment that sparks her curiosity—and hints at a dark, mysterious side to Jack that she’s desperate to uncover. The lines between professional and personal blur dangerously as the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore. She’s drawn to the broken man who hides his grief in ropes and bondage, and she challenges him in ways he never thought possible.

Caught between her growing feelings for Jack and the ghosts of his past, Camille must decide: can love heal a heart still grieving, or will their passion destroy them both?

🧡 Little fashionista, Bea, the daughter
🧡 The ending of the story, the growth and change in Jack

The spice was great and as always Sara did a great job with lightly introducing knk into the story. The familial relationships and friendships felt robust; the depiction of grief and related avoidance by Jack, its impact on those around him…

However, I think Cami’s character missed the mark. Everyone else felt fully fletched except Cami. I couldn’t fully get behind her, her motives and actions, her personality which separate from being who Jack and Bea needed her to be, was lacking substance.

Loved the story it was excellent but it could have done without the dominant/submissive rubbish … it spoilt a good story and really wasn’t necessary.

Brilliant narrators on a great story
