Their wishes were simple and modest. Fate had other things
in store though, and she can be a real bitch sometimes.
- All he wanted was to get the job done and somehow to
endure those long months playing nanny to a spoiled little rich girl. Without
strangling her with his bare hands in the process. Well, it is going to be much
easier said than done.
- All she wanted was to escape the past and live like any
other nineteen-year-old girl. Her plan definitely didn’t include the arrogant,
tattooed savage, with his awful mohawk hair and lack of social graces, whose
only mission was to stick real close and mess up her life.
But, people aren't always what they seem to be, are they?

Excerpt
Even if it didn’t seem like it, Beth was actually naïve
as to the ways of the world because she’d grown up protected from a lot of
stuff and she’d certainly never come into contact with characters like Alex. If
she had even an inkling of the line of work he was in, she’d run away and never
look back. I’d tried to do that myself, but it seemed I could never escape, no
matter how hard I tried.
I wondered sometimes what it would be like to be part of
a normal family, the way Bethany was. It wasn’t because I felt my life was
awful or anything. I was just... curious. How would it feel to spend your
childhood with other kids, playing in the park, going on vacations? All those
things had been denied to me. Ever since they’d first tried to kidnap me, just
after I turned five, I’d been under constant surveillance wherever I went.
Nikolai even tried to home school me instead of letting me go to an ordinary
school, and probably would have had it his way if it hadn’t been for my mother.
To an outsider, my life might have looked perfect.
Anything I asked for, I got. Anyone looking a little closer, though, would have
seen that a life lived in constant fear wasn’t so great. I’d been locked up in
my own gilded cage. It might have been a beautiful cage, but that’s what it was
- a cage. However, I didn’t know any different. Without anything to compare it
to, I couldn’t judge.
Author Bio
A teenager in an adult's body. A rebel in the guise of an
ordinary citizen. A lady with very unladylike language. A dreamer with a
rational mind. A woman born into the wrong era, she still believes that
chivalry's a feat to define the perfect man.
Zoya spent years doing volunteering work all across Europe,
from cleaning school basements in Northern Russia to excavating Stone Age
artifacts in Euskadi (the Basque country) and renovating castles from the
middle ages in Southern France. She always dreamed of working with 'Doctors
without borders' somewhere out in Africa, but ended up doing an 'ordinary job'
in one of the smaller European countries.
Her greatest passion is devouring each and every book that
comes within her reach.
