Cinderella’s Billionaire Boss by Michelle Douglas

Hired by her Prince Charming?

Jill-of-all-trades Charlie is on a mission! To find proof the Kings sabotaged her grandfather’s business. And widower Tom King gives her the perfect cover. He offers Charlie the job of his daughter’s nanny, while he’s home to resolve a billion-dollar family rift. Yet, living under the same roof, their powerful spark reminds Charlie why she swore off charming city boys. It’s all too easy for them to get beneath your skin, then break your heart. Unless…her boss could be the exception?
