FREDERIC
Everyone calls me the Ice Man.
Cold. Brutal. Unforgiving.
But when my daughter, the only thing I care about, is on the verge of being taken from me, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her.
Even if it means hiring the walking, talking personification of sunshine as her nanny.
Having Orla’s constant positivity and beautiful smiling face in my home, capturing my daughter’s heart, makes me feel things I swore never to feel again.
After my divorce, I locked my heart away and threw away the key.
But the more time we spend together, I fear she is slowly picking open the lock, and what scares me more is I am not sure I want her to stop.
ORLA
Losing my job isn’t part of my big life’s plans, then again neither is becoming a nanny to an emotionally unavailable and lethally handsome single dad’s daughter.
Where I wear my heart on my sleeve, Frederic Dade hides his behind shards of thick ice.
I took this job out of sheer desperation, to fulfil the obligations of my past, and to build the stepping-stones of my dream of being a full-time artist.
But somewhere between fairy-tea parties, finger-paints, and glimpses of the true Frederic, I begin to find something I didn’t know I was missing.
A home, a family, and a broken-hearted man daring me to fall in love with him.
