Nope. The second I lay eyes on her, my shoulders tense. What I expected was an unattractive woman to nanny my child. What I got was a punch-to-the-gut beautiful woman with glowing skin, a sweet-as-sin voice, and a rocking body that curves in all the right spots.

Ellie leans in close to her dad’s ear. “Hold her hand, Daddy. She looks scared.” Great. A five-year-old is braver than me. Malaki steals Ellie from Rhodes’s arms and shoots him a devilish smile. “Yeah. Make sure you hold her hand.” Little does Rhodes know, I actually might need his hand.

Khoroshaya devochka. I freeze at the explicit vision that fills my head. Did I just call her “good girl” in Russian?

“Pick a safe word, Sunshine.”
