Novels by K.U.T.Z

Clarinda Buenavista knows her place: in the kitchen, at the edges of the grand Harrison estate, serving the man who holds her family’s fate in his hands. When her mother’s illness and mounting debts force her to sign on as live-in maid for Yael Harrison, she expects nothing but hard work and quiet obedience. Yael is the cold, reclusive billionaire who rules his empire—and his home—with iron discipline, still trapped in grief over the woman he lost. But as days turn into weeks, the line between master and maid begins to blur. Clarinda sees the man beneath the power: the loneliness he hides, the pain he never speaks of, the small kindnesses he tries to deny. Yael, in turn, finds himself watching for her, craving her quiet warmth, and realizing she has become the only light in his silent world. Whispers spread fast. Yael’s family and social circle are quick to judge: Clarinda is just a maid, a nobody who has no business stepping into their world. His half-sister Mara makes it clear she will do anything to tear them apart. When duty, status, and old grief threaten to separate them forever, both must choose: stay bound by the rules that have always defined them… or dare to cross the line between duty and desire, between the kitchen and the master’s bedroom, and between two worlds that were never meant to collide. What began as a transaction might just become the only love worth fighting for—if they are brave enough to let it. The line has always been clear: She serves. He rules.
