Engagée comme nounou par Lysander Vale, un milliardaire aussi glacial qu’obsessionnel, Salomé Azur n’a rien de la gouvernante modèle. Avec ses Docs Martens, son franc-parler et un regard qui enflamme les silences, elle débarque dans la vie feutrée du magnat avec une seule intention : le faire craquer, pierre à pierre. Lysander Vale contrôle tout — ses affaires, ses employés, ses pulsions. Il a installé des caméras partout dans la villa, persuadé que cette fille au sourire insolent cache quelque chose. Ce qu’il découvre, nuit après nuit, écran après écran, est bien plus dangereux : Salomé Azur sait qu’il la regarde. Et elle joue. D’un geste trop lent en retirant ses collants après une longue journée. D’une robe d’été qui glisse sur son épaule en pleine chaleur. D’un regard appuyé, chargé de ce qu’elle lui ferait s’il osait descendre de sa tour d’ivoire. Mais ce jeu de pouvoir brûlant se corse quand l’attirance devient obsession. Lysander Vale ne veut plus seulement la regarder : il veut la toucher, la posséder, l’entendre dire son prénom dans le noir. Et Salomé , qui croyait mener la danse, découvre que faire perdre le contrôle à un homme qui n’a jamais rien lâché pourrait bien l’emporter elle-même… dans un tourbillon où désir et pouvoir s’entrechoquent jusqu’à l’incandescence.

Lors de la cérémonie où mon fiancé, Mattew, devait être couronné Alpha de la meute Riverdale, il a publiquement rejeté notre lien d'âmes sœurs. Il a choisi Claire, qui portait déjà son enfant. « Claire et sa famille peuvent m'aider à consolider mon titre d'Alpha, » a-t-il dit, sans la moindre honte. « Et j'ai besoin qu'elle me donne un héritier. » Quant à moi ? « Attends juste un an. Le titre de Luna sera quand même à toi. » Tout le monde pensait que j'allais simplement accepter. Après tout, je lui avais été éperdument dévouée pendant sept ans. Mais ce soir-là même, je suis partie à la recherche de ma Seconde Chance. Trois ans plus tard, je suis revenue à la meute Riverdale, accompagnant mon compagnon, le Roi Alpha, dans sa tournée des territoires. Il avait eu un contretemps de dernière minute et avait envoyé quelqu'un d'autre me chercher. Mais à l'aéroport, je suis tombée sur Mattew. Il m'a regardée avec pitié. « Tu en as fini avec tes caprices ? Le fils de Claire a besoin d'une nounou. Tu peux revenir et t'occuper de lui. »​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I was the real daughter of the Sinclair family, yet I was the one abandoned when their fake daughter and I were kidnapped and taken to the top of a building. They were given a choice between the two of us, and they chose to save the fake daughter, letting me be pushed off from the eighteenth-floor balcony. Even though I survived, I was completely disappointed in them. Then, their attitudes changed overnight. My parents, who despised me, started asking me about my likes and dislikes. My brother who wished me dead, started suddenly giving me precious jewelry. Even my fiancé, who always claimed I was nothing compared to the fake daughter, started to prepare for our wedding. To say I was confused was an understatement.

During the eighth month of my pregnancy, I was pushed and fell. This caused me to have a miscarriage. In order to keep me alive, my womb would be removed. Just when I was experiencing excruciating pain, I accidentally overheard the conversation between my husband and the doctor. "Mr. Lawson, Ms. White is actually in stable condition now. Are you sure you want us to remove her womb?" "This is the only way that she will truly love my and Riley's child. Riley and I will never be together, but I'll give everything that I have to our only child. Mandy already has me, isn't that enough?" After hearing their conversation with my own ears, I finally realized that the person that I loved so much was just a liar.
