Histoires de Bord de Mer Séries

"She left. Two words that haunt me. Three kids under six, and she walked away because her dream was never to have a family but to marry a rockstar. Moving my recording studio to Seaside, Oregon, seems like the best decision, especially since it's become a celebrity haven. It could be lucrative, but I’m doing it for my kids; they deserve normalcy. As for me, I need a break and help—fast. I need a sitter who won’t flip me off for asking them to sign an NDA, who won’t sell our pictures, and most importantly, someone who looks nothing like my ex-wife. Then I met Trevor Wood, the drummer for the rock band Adrenaline, in a local coffee shop. He ordered a tall black coffee, and before I knew it, I agreed to interview him for the nanny position. I couldn’t help it; my youngest had gum in her hair, and the eldest was asking where babies come from. Trevor looked both pathetic and sexy, and rather than being star-struck, I felt pity. But the moment I signed the NDA and our fingers brushed, I realized I was in dangerous territory. I fell for the star and learned that no matter how high they soar, they’re still human and can fall just as hard."
