Overview

knew who I was. Until Alex Hartley burned my world down and showed me who I could be.

I am Victoria ‘Vic’ Sterling. High-powered corporate lawyer in Manhattan. I am badass. I am on the fast track to make partner at Kildare and Scott, one of the best law firms in the city. I am fearless, uncompromising, and at the top of my game. I know what I want, and I take it. I have everything: money, a thriving career, a gorgeous penthouse, a husband and my six-year-old daughter, Lily.There is nothing I lack.

Then Alexandra 'Alex' Hartley comes in my life. She’s fresh from law school, interning at a rival law firm. She needs to make extra money to cover her living costs in Manhattan. I bring her into my home to care for my daughter, Lily. A live-in nanny to help with our hectic lives. She's unconventional, whipsmart, ambitious, bold and breaks down barriers wherever she goes. Did I say she's young? She's ten years younger than me.I expected our lives to be smooth sailing. If Lily was happy, I was happy. What I didn't expect was for Alex to make me confront myself. I’ve always known who I am. Alex unpeeled layers of my self that I didn't know existed.

I’ve never desired a woman before. Never imagined I could fall for someone like Alex. But what started as a spark has become something I can’t ignore. Falling for her could cost me everything I’ve built. But walking away? That might cost me the one thing I never thought I’d find: myself.
