Learn moreMy life and career have conditioned me to be prepared for—and desensitized to—traumatic events. Rather, they should’ve. But one phone call blindsided me in a way I never expected, and now there’s a screaming eight-month-old in my custody.
I would’ve done anything to ensure my niece didn’t enter the system, but I never wanted a family. I never wanted ties to anyone, period.
But then my meddling office administrator forcibly hires a nanny for me, and all my resolute vows start crumbling when I come face to face with Lainey Pearson … again.
She’s no one—should be no one. Just an oblivious girl I saved nearly a year ago. But she’s the only one who’s ever rocked me. Consumed me. I immediately want to fire her, but with the social worker breathing down my neck, I need her.
Then again, now that she’s fallen back into my life, having a working boundary might be for the best. My life doesn’t allow for relationships, and last I checked, it was frowned upon to date your employees.
Especially when they’re already in a relationship.
Molly Barlowe grew up in California but now lives with her husband and daughter in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody and dishing out movie quotes with her hubby. She has a weakness for nerdy movies and loves curling up in a fluffy blanket during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening. She wrote as Molly McAdams from 2012–2024.
Stefanie Kay is an Audie Award-nominated narrator with a background in musical theater. She began narrating audiobooks in 2018. It is such an incredible honor every time an author entrusts her with their stories, and she makes sure that each one is told with truth, emotion, and warmth. She loves stories that make you laugh, make you cry, make you feel something!
Incredibly curious about the world around him, Derek Dysart has always been a voracious reader. On childhood trips to the library, his mother would have to set limits on the amount of books he could check out (much to his dismay). He came to the world of spoken audio first via college radio, and later through hosting an interview podcast. After enjoying a career in software, his love for storytelling and connecting learners to information made audiobooks a natural fit. When not narrating audiobooks or attending his kids' activities, Derek can be found hiking, camping, or enjoying the great outdoors.
