He vanished the night our child was born. A year later, he came back to take her from me. I never planned to be a mother. I only wanted to help Anthony Powell, a grieving widower desperate to hold onto a piece of his late wife. I agreed to carry his child with no strings. But when I went into labor, he never showed. Not a call. Not a word. Forty-eight hours passed. The hospital couldn’t reach him. And I was forced to make a choice that would change everything—I took that baby home and raised her as my own. For one perfect year, Nori was mine. Then he returned... Soaked in rain and regret, Anthony stood at my door with a story about a car crash and a coma. He said he never abandoned us. And then he demanded custody of the daughter I’d loved every day since her first breath. I lost everything when the courts sided with him and demanded I hand my baby over. But then...his lawyer came to me with an unthinkable offer: move into his home... and become Nori’s nanny. I said yes, but on my terms. If this “arrangement” fell apart, I wanted joint custody written in stone. Now I’m living under his roof, seeing glimpses of the man he used to be—the kind, broken soul who once only wanted a chance at fatherhood. But I can’t forget his cruelty and what he took from me. And the worst part? I think I’m falling for him all over again.

BLURB Niloko ng childhood sweetheart slash fiancé at ng matagal na bestfriend, iyon ang mapait na sinapit ni Persephone. Pero imbes na umiyak at magmukmok, sa mismong gabi ng engagement nila kung saan iniwan siya ng fiancé, nagdesisyon siyang gumanti sa paraang hindi inaasahan. Kumuha siya ng gigolo para gawing pansamantalang lover. At first, satisfied naman siya sa boytoy niya. Pero nang bumalik ang fiancé niyang si Narcissus, napilitan siyang hiwalayan ang lalaki at bigyan ito ng malaking halaga kapalit ng tuluyang pagkawala. Balak ni Persephone na gamitin ang pagbabalik sa fiancé hindi para magpakasal, kundi para pahirapan ang buhay ni Narcissus at ng ex-bestfriend niyang si Daniela. Matapos maisakatuparan ang paghihiganti, handa na sana si Persephone na mamuhay nang tahimik. Pero sa isang well-known business party, bigla siyang hinarang ng isang pamilyar na lalaki. Nakasuot ito ng mamahaling suit, malamig ang titig, at puno ng authority ang presensya. Ang gigolo na binayaran niya noon. “You can't recognize me, Ma'am Persephone?” malamig na tanong nito. “W-Why are you here?” kabadong sagot ni Persephone. Ngumiti lang ang lalaki. “Of course, to claim the little seductress who ran away from me.” Ngayon lang ni Persephone napagtanto... ang akala niyang boytoy ay isang misteryosong zillionaire na may mas malaking plano para sa kanya.
