Follow and carry out the rules the Floros' had given him—watch the kid, keep him out of trouble, and collect a generous paycheck. But Layland Floros is anything but a kid. Beautiful, bold, and entirely too provocative for his own good, Layland isn’t interested in being watched. With a bratty attitude that dares Gunner to break every boundary he’s set for himself when he's on the job, Layland turns a simple assignment into something far more dangerous. Gunner's never been with a man. Never even thought about it—until Layland. Now, every moment in that house is thick with tension, with heat that hums just beneath the surface. The more Gunner tries to keep things professional, the harder it becomes to ignore what he was really feeling towards the young man. Soon, duty gives way to desire, and Gunner finds himself crossing lines he swore he wouldn’t. But when the chemistry between them explodes into something real and raw, he’ll have to face the truth: babysitting Layland and carrying out the young man's parents' rules was never the hard part. Staying away from him is. And if Layland's parents find out what really happened behind the closed doors of their home, Gunner could lose more than just the job.

Ma sœur jumelle Rachel et moi avions épousé des frères jumeaux d'une famille mafieuse : elle avait épousé l'aîné Léon, un juge fédéral, tandis que j'étais mariée au cadet Max, chirurgien. Lorsque j'étais hospitalisée pour préserver ma grossesse, des ravisseurs m'ont kidnappée et séquestrée pour demander une rançon. Ils ont utilisé mon téléphone pour contacter Max, mais leurs trente-deux appels étaient tous rejetés. Furieux, l'un d'eux m'a frappée violemment le ventre avec une batte de baseball. J'ai tenté de protéger mon bébé, mais je l'ai perdu malgré tout. Les ravisseurs ont persisté à appeler Max. Lorsqu'il a répondu enfin, il a crié : « Annie a failli faire une fausse couche, je l'accompagne juste à un examen ! Cesse de m'harceler pour attirer mon attention ! » Ne parvenant pas à obtenir la rançon, les ravisseurs, humiliés, m'ont ligotée et m'ont jetée dans une piscine avant de s'enfuir. Alors que j'étais sur le point de me noyer, Rachel est arrivée à mon secours. Voyant que j'avais perdu mon bébé et manqué de mourir noyée, elle a appelé immédiatement Léon. Mais seule sa messagerie vocale a répondu : « Bonjour, c'est Léon. Je m'occupe en ce moment de ceux qui ont failli tuer Annie. On en reparle plus tard. » Quand elle a voulu appeler la police, son téléphone a rendu l'âme, à court de batterie. Et elle a dû me conduire en voiture. Sur le chemin du retour, une tempête de neige soudaine a provoqué un glissement de terrain. La voiture est tombée en panne dans ces conditions extrêmes, et nous sommes restées coincées, grelottant de froid. Heureusement, des gardes forestiers nous ont découvertes à temps, nous sauvant d'une mort glaciale. À notre réveil à l'hôpital, Rachel et moi avaient la même réaction : nous allions demander le divorce !
