The windshield wipers thrashed at their highest speed, barely keeping up with the deluge hammering the glass, but I didn't care. Pressing the accelerator to the floor, I let the SUV's engine roar as I tore through the slick city streets, my knuckles stark white against the leather steering wheel.

​Blind to the traffic and the red lights I blew through, my mind was locked on a single, grainy black-and-white image from Eric's monitor: Amelia. Curled into a ball behind a dumpster, shiveri

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   WAITER

    I left the quiet sanctuary of the wood-paneled study and walked slowly up the grand staircase toward the East Wing. The heavy silence of the massive estate felt incredibly oppressive as I navigated the long hallway to my bedroom. After pushing my wooden door open, I stepped inside and firmly turned the brass lock just as Kade had explicitly instructed me to do. The click of the lock provided a small amount of physical security, yet it did nothing to calm the racing thoughts flooding my mind.I reached behind my back and carefully unzipped the midnight blue silk dress, allowing the expensive fabric to pool on the carpeted floor. Because the lingering tension from the charity gala still gripped my muscles tightly, I walked directly into the attached bathroom and turned the shower handle to the hottest setting. I stood under the running water for a very long time, scrubbing my skin with a soft washcloth to remove the heavy layer of stress and the subtle scent of the crowded ballroom. Onc

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   MONSTER

    I stared up into his dark eyes and processed the absolute honesty in his quiet words. He was the most feared man in the city, yet he was currently standing in his private study openly admitting his own isolation and vulnerability. Instead of pulling away from his warm touch, I turned my head slightly and leaned my cheek heavily into the palm resting against my jawline. I wanted to show him that I fully accepted the dangerous reality of his life, and I needed him to know that I did not fear the violent person he had to be to survive in his world."You do not have to carry the massive burden of protecting everyone completely by yourself," I whispered softly in the quiet room, keeping my voice low to maintain the peaceful atmosphere. "You have spent years making sure nobody hurts Amy or the people working inside this house. It is perfectly acceptable for someone to finally protect you in return, Kade."Kade released a long, heavy breath that visibly dropped the tight tension from his br

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   RIDE BACK

    The heavy doors of the armored limousine closed firmly behind us, completely blocking out the ambient noise of the Chicago streets and the flashing lights of the venue. The driver immediately pulled the vehicle away from the curb and merged into the heavy evening traffic. I leaned back against the plush leather seat and finally allowed myself to take a deep, unrestricted breath.Kade did not relax his posture or offer me any immediate comfort because he was already operating in a completely different mental state. He pulled a sleek black phone from the inside pocket of his tuxedo jacket and initiated a secure call while staring straight ahead at the privacy partition separating us from the driver."Nick, I want the entire estate locked down before we pass through the main gates," Kade ordered in a rapid, clinical tone that left absolutely no room for debate. "Double the exterior patrols, activate the perimeter alarms, and send two men to stand directly outside the nursery door. You ar

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   SILENT

    My fingers rested directly against the hard metal of the weapon hidden beneath the waiter's white uniform jacket. The sudden realization sent a massive rush of pure adrenaline straight through my body, and my heart rate accelerated so rapidly that the sound pounded in my ears. I knew immediately that the heavy object was a suppressed pistol because I could feel the distinct shape of the elongated barrel pressing through the thin cotton fabric.I desperately wanted to pull my hand away and scream for help, but I forced my muscles to remain completely still. The armed man was not paying any attention to my face or my reaction, because his dark eyes were locked entirely on Kade across the crowded room. If I panicked or shouted a warning right now, the surrounding wealthy guests would scatter in absolute terror. That resulting chaos would give the assassin a perfectly clear opportunity to raise his gun and pull the trigger before the security team could intervene. I also remembered the te

    Kade did not shift his posture or raise his voice when he finally answered the older man. He simply rested his hands flat against the white tablecloth and held Dante's gaze with absolute stillness."You should know by now that I never alter my schedule based on the mail, Dante," Kade replied evenly. "I received your envelope yesterday morning, and I decided to bring her here tonight anyway so you could look at her directly."Dante offered a small, calculated smile before turning his attention away from Kade and focusing entirely on me. His pale blue eyes assessed my appearance slowly from the top of my pinned hair down to the neckline of my silk dress, and his smile tightened slightly at the corners of his mouth."She is certainly a beautiful girl," Dante observed politely while taking a sip from his crystal champagne flute. "Although the midnight blue silk is perhaps a bit too refined for someone with such incredibly modest origins. I heard from a mutual acquaintance that she spent h

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   RED CARPET

    The heavy black limousine rolled forward slowly and came to a complete stop directly in front of the massive stone entrance of the venue. The uniformed driver turned the engine off and stepped out into the chaotic noise of the crowded street. Nick and Enzo had already exited the front doors of the vehicle to secure the immediate perimeter, and they stood firmly on the pavement to block anyone from approaching the car. I sat perfectly still on the leather seat and waited for Kade to move, because the sheer volume of the yelling paparazzi outside the tinted windows made my heart beat rapidly against my ribs.Kade reached across the seat to grasp the silver door handle, and he pushed the heavy door open. The overwhelming sound of hundreds of shouting reporters instantly flooded into the quiet cabin, and the bright flashing lights from the cameras illuminated the dark interior of the car. I blinked several times to adjust my vision to the sudden brightness, but Kade did not hesitate at al

    "A nanny, to be specific," he clarified, turning his attention back to his tablet as the car began to move smoothly down the highway.I let out a harsh, disbelief-filled laugh. I couldn't help it. The hysteria was bubbling up again. "A nanny? You expect me to believe that? No one pays that kind of

    I woke up with a start, my heart hammering against my chest like a trapped animal. For a split second, my nose searched for the scent of stale cigarette smoke, burnt spoons, and the rotting smell of the trash that always piled up in the corner of my parents’ kitchen. I expected to feel the spring

    After leaving Kade standing by his window, I walked down the long carpeted hallway toward the nursery and pushed the heavy wooden door open. Amy was sitting in the middle of her floor surrounded by dozens of colorful plastic building blocks, but she looked incredib

    The heavy weight of Kade's body pressed down firmly against my legs, and his large hands gripped my wrists tightly against the thick black training mat. The air inside the large private gym felt incredibly thin because his face was hovering only a few inches above mine. He had just asked me what I
