Explicit, kink-forward (ropes/bondage), with strong emotional intensity.

The vibe 

Jack St. Claire is desperate. A grieving single father, he throws himself into work—running a brand-new kink club in Paris—and builds a fortress around his heart instead of facing the pain. But his life is unraveling, and he needs help caring for his daughter before things get worse.
Camille Aubert isn’t looking for a job. She’s only trying to return a lost love letter she found tucked inside a book. But a mix-up lands her in front of Jack as a “candidate,” and before she can correct anyone, she’s hired as his live-in nanny—and something in her gut says this is exactly where she’s meant to be.
Soon after arriving, Camille discovers a strange room in Jack’s apartment that sparks her curiosity—and hints at the dark, hidden side of him she can’t stop wanting to understand. As the lines between professional and personal blur, the heat between them turns impossible to ignore. Camille is drawn to the broken man who hides his grief in ropes and restraint, and she challenges him in ways he never expected… especially when his praise is as forbidden as his touch is irresistible.
Now Camille has to choose: can love heal a heart still grieving… or will their passion destroy them both?
