The Billionaire and the Nanny: The Complete Series Box Set (Books 1-4)
Paige North - 2019
This chick is gorgeous with her flowing auburn hair and amazing body. She’s ripe for the taking, so I can’t have her in my house. The other nannies they sent met rule number one, but they were inept. Right away, I can tell Penelope is different. She's got those thick hips and long legs that would look perfect wrapped around me as I pound her hard up against the wall… I need to send her away. She’s too good for me, too pure. She deserves a gentle man, not someone as rough and scarred as I am. But I need someone to take care of Lilly, and Penelope’s the best one for the job. Soon she’s living right down the hall, parading around in her tight little outfits, with no idea how much she’s testing my self-discipline. I try to warn her, to tell her to keep her door locked at night, but it’s no use. Before long I’m sneaking into her room at night, stroking her, touching her, entering her, making her scream. For the first time, it’s not just about the physical for me. I start to think that maybe I’m not as cold as I thought. That maybe I deserve love. That maybe I could be the man that Lilly deserves and that Penelope’s always hoped for… Penelope Ethan Townsend. Billionaire steel magnate, tabloid darling, and notorious womanizer. He stands over six-feet-four with dark hair and cool blue eyes. He wears sharp, precise, well-fitted suits, shiny shoes, and a stern expression that makes me squirm. The first time I meet him, his gaze lingers on me, undressing me in his mind. I don’t know what it is about him, but he makes me feel like I’ve done something wrong when I haven’t. I feel uneasy in his presence, like he’s going to punish me for being insolent. But he’s my boss. So no matter how much our attraction pulses beneath the service, no matter how many times my hand drops between my legs while I fantasize about him, nothing could ever happen between us. I’m his nanny, brought here to take care of Lilly and nothing else. Besides, Ethan is cold and distant, and he only dates models and socialites. Until the night I break his most stringent rule and leave my bedroom door unlocked… Soon we’re kissing and touching, his hands in my hair, his lips trailing over my skin as he enters me. But am I enough to break down his walls, to slay the demons that make him feel he’s incapable of love? Can I be the one to prove to him that he needs something more? I’m not sure, but I’m going to try. Even if it ends up breaking my heart… This box set contains the full Billionaire and the Nanny series: The Billionaire and the Nanny (Book One) The Billionaire and the Nanny (Book Two) The Billionaire and the Nanny (Book Three) The Billionaire and the Nanny (Book Four)
