When a bullet narrowly misses her at school, a teacher finds herself swept into the luxurious—and dangerous—world of Jameson Knight, her student's mysteriously guarded father who insists she move into his estate for her own protection. What starts as a temporary live-in nanny arrangement quickly becomes something far more complicated as the chemistry between them ignites and the secrets buried in Paradise Grove begin to unravel. Jameson is all consuming intensity and intoxicating power, but he's also hiding something darker, and the closer she gets to him, the more she realizes that nothing—and no one—in this billionaire enclave is what it seems. This is the kind of addictive, high-stakes romance that will have you caught between swooning at his possessive devotion and questioning just how far you'd go for someone who might be your greatest danger.

Moody dark pop and sultry R&B with underlying tension—think The Weeknd, FKA twigs, and Halsey. Cinematic strings meet minimalist beats. Whispered vocals, forbidden attraction, luxury that masks danger. Intoxicating, controlled, intimate dread.
