Hired to Hold the Heir

Nadia Markova wanted an ordinary nanny job. She got a widowed father who runs a shipping company whose cargo never appears on any manifest, a three-week-old baby, and an uncle with a death wish and a claim. Dmitri Volkov has kept his son alive by lying to everyone, including the agency that sent the woman he can't afford to want. When his brother's men take the baby off a Tuesday afternoon walk, Nadia breaks every rule — the agency's, the family's, her own — and follows. She brings the boy home or she doesn't come back. For readers of nanny romance, mafia romance, and marriage-of-convenience, this is a slow burn with a fast gun. No cheating. No cliffhanger. A family earned the hard way.
