Knox Hilliard’s uncle killed his father to marry his mother and gain control of the family’s Fortune 100 company. Knox is set to inherit it on his 40th birthday, provided he has a wife and an heir.

Then, after his bride is murdered on their wedding day, Knox refuses to fulfill the proviso at all. When a brilliant law student catches his attention, he knows must wait until after his 40th birthday to pursue her—but he may not be able to resist her that long.

Sebastian Taight, eccentric financier, steps between Knox and his uncle by initiating a hostile takeover. When Sebastian is appointed trustee of a company in receivership, he falls hard for its beautiful CEO. She has secrets that involve his uncle, but his secret could destroy any chance he has with her.

Giselle Cox exposed the affair that set her uncle’s plot in motion—twenty years ago. He’s burned Giselle’s bookstore and had her shot because it is she who holds his life in her hands. Then she runs into a much bigger problem: A man who takes her breath away, who can match and dominate her, whose soul is as scarred as his body.

Knox, Sebastian, and Giselle: Three cousins at war with an uncle who will stop at nothing to keep Knox’s inheritance. Never do they expect to find allies—and love—on the battlefield.

New updates every weekday by 9 am Thanks for 3k reads❤❤ "I don't care," Lucas snapped back, "get her out of my house and find someone else." "Lucas!" she scolded. "she's the first nanny the kids accepted without a fight." "We'll find someone else. For now, get that piece of shit out of my house, I can't fucking stand her." 'Piece...of...shit...' only that phrase stood out in my brain. ************************************************************************************************** Christine Channing has never had it easy in life. After being abandoned to a foster home at a young age, she struggles through life on her own. She runs into debt and her only hope of paying is in the form of one of the most intolerable assholes she has ever met. Desperate for a better-paying job she becomes a live-in nanny to the kids of Lucas Maxwell. She decides that all she has to do is focus on the kids and ignore him for the next year, but that proves to be more difficult than she expects it to be, or maybe it's because she cannot control the way her body goes crazy around him. Lucas is cold-hearted and a mean jerk, but he loves his twins more than life itself. He'd do anything for them, even if it means employing the one person that reminds him of a past he so badly wishes to forget. He has no other interest in women until he meets the beautiful and daring Chris. He directs all his focus on his company and his kids. But the only problem is the new nanny is as hot and beautiful as she is annoying and infuriating but she offers his twins more love than their own mother ever could. She proves to be a major distraction and it doesn't help that despite everything he dislikes about her, he still wants to sleep with her.
