<p><strong><u><em>The forbidden never tasted so sweet...&nbsp;</em></u></strong></p><p>Unattainable. That's what he is.&nbsp;</p><p>Thirteen years my senior, my uncle's best friend, and my father's business partner. The man couldn't be any more unreachable if he lived on the moon itself.&nbsp;</p><p>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.&nbsp;</p><p>Over the years I've done my best to stay away, recognizing he is utterly off-limits. And avoiding him worked... until it didn't.&nbsp;</p><p>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.&nbsp;</p><p>I swallow thickly as I close the distance to my new home, silently reminding myself of what I know to be true. Life is cruel, and its penchant for torturing me hasn't changed.&nbsp;</p><p>It seems the sins of my past have finally come to bite me in the ass, and keeping my secrets will be harder than ever. I have to bury my secrets and stay the course. Letting William see me, the real me-all battered and broken inside, pining after a love I cannot have-is not an option.&nbsp;</p><p>As the front door swings open I give myself one last warning. But I have to wonder, will it be enough?</p>
