Nelly never imagined her design degree would leave her broke, jobless, and pouring drinks at a bar she hates. So when she stumbles on a live-in housekeeping position paying $120,000 a year, she’s convinced it’s a scam, until her friends push her to try. But nothing prepares her for the Aiden’s estate. The money is real. The rules are strange. And the first one is the hardest: she must never be seen by the estate’s only resident. Aiden Kensington, billionaire, brilliant, and inconveniently irresistible has survived by keeping his world small and his secrets smaller. He has no interest in chaos or his family… until Nelly arrives and accidentally becomes the face of a lie he told his business partner: the fiancée he invented to save a deal. Now Aiden has to keep up the charade. Nelly has to survive the job. And the house that brought them together begins unraveling every truth they thought they knew, about each other and about their own pasts. From an accidental housekeeper to a fake fiancée to something dangerously real, Nelly and Aiden must decide whether love is worth fighting for when families interfere, old wounds resurface, and the life she’s always wanted finally stands within reach.
