He was my new boss.
The older single father whose daughter I was supposed to babysit.
The man who made my days unforgettable. Until his past caught up to us.
Daniel “Danny” Delgado was a protector, a caregiver. Falling in love with him was as easy as falling in love with his daughter.
He loved with everything he had and he was willing to do whatever it took to protect his loved ones. Myself included. But some dangers couldn’t be fought off.
Between dodging his vindictive ex-wife and going to war against the drug and human trafficking cartel that was threatening us, we might’ve been unable to come out unscathed. Or even alive.
By the end of it all, we had a lot of days we couldn’t forget. Not all of them were good.
DANNY
She was too young for me.
Too free to be tied to my baggage.
She was also too enticing for me to ignore, and soon enough my daughter wasn’t the only one falling for the nanny.
Lisa "Lissie" Specter was more than a breath of fresh air. She was my balm, my peace, my partner for life. She colored my daughter’s face with the same ease she adorned my life.
I couldn’t stay away from her despite my best efforts.
But there were a lot of reasons why us being together was dangerous. My past was coming for us. My job was threatening our lives. My feelings for her were risking our future.
For better or for worse, some days were supposed to leave a mark on our lives. Meeting Lisa was one of the best days I’ve had. But the dangerous seesaw we called life had surely worked its number on us.
Because the day I watched her life drain right before me?
That was one day I could never forget.
