Unattainable. That’s what he is. Thirteen years my senior, my uncle’s best friend, and my father’s business partner. The man could not be any more untouchable if he lived on the moon itself. William Hawthorne has haunted my dreams for the better part of my teenage years. Coming in like a dark knight on the most tragic of days, he swooped in and quietly guided me back to sanity, offering me the support I so desperately needed. I've kept my distance, but a series of events have landed me on his doorstep. Literally. I’m both the nanny and his charge, making it practically impossible to stay away. Trying to swallow around a ball of emotions, my breath catches. Letting William see me, the real me—all battered and broken inside, pining after a love I cannot have—is not an option. As the front door swings open I give myself one last warning. But I have to wonder, will it be enough?

This isn’t a fairy tale. No. It’s a tale of woe as old as time. But even the tragic deserve a happily ever after, and I’m here to give it to you. Charlotte Sticking out like a preacher’s pregnant teenage daughter, I lift myself off the floor and fluff my unconventionally long black hair--a silent f*ck you to the sea of blond that surrounds me. I live in a world of fraud. Everything is fake, plastic, and superficial. Nothing is what it seems and your worth is measured in dollar signs and social status. Who am I? Nothing but a prized possession. A dress-up doll for one of the most powerful men in the country. He may beat me, break me, and make me bleed. But he will never win. Aiden Tasked with protecting that which I despise, I struggle against turning into the monster I vowed I’d never become. How can I do right by her when being near her sets my very soul on fire? She’s a saint and temptress all in one. Unable to separate one from the other, I begin to fall into her, letting her consume my every desire. Will I survive this torture or will her love be my demise?
