Silent Hearts, Secret Desires - E-book - ePub

I never expected to fall in love while caring for a grieving child. My job was simple: help little Ethan find his voice again after the loss of his mother. But the moment I stepped into the Holt mansion, I felt the weight of more than just a child's sorrow. His father, Alexander, is a man consumed by grief-strong, distant, and utterly captivating. As I work to bring light back into Ethan's world, I find myself drawn to Alexander in ways I can't ignore.
His guarded heart calls to me, every glance, every quiet conversation pulling me deeper into feelings I'm not sure I should have. But how can I resist the connection that's blossoming between us? I know I should keep my distance, remain professional. But the more time I spend with Alexander, the more I realize that he needs healing just as much as his son. And maybe, just maybe, I'm the one who can help him find it. Yet, as my heart becomes entangled with his, I face an impossible choice: protect myself and walk away, or take the risk and reach for the love I never thought I'd find.
