When Matthias Phillips envisioned finding a new caregiver for his mother, who was battling ALS, the last thing on his mind was a stunning young woman who appeared to have no prior experience in the field. Nevertheless, his mother’s stubbornness prevailed, and despite his reservations, she insisted on hiring Adelaide Samson.
Adelaide, having lost her job, is in dire need of a new source of income to support her family, even if it means working for the overly protective and sometimes discourteous Matthias. As she gradually earns his trust, she glimpses a different side of him—one that is humorous, kind, and compassionate. A side she might find herself growing fond of.
Emotions begin to take hold, but soon, Adelaide is faced with a difficult choice: to assist Helen, whom she views as a second mother, with a clandestine task, or to be truthful with Matthias. Caught between her affection for the woman who feels like family and her growing feelings for Matthias, Adelaide must navigate the complex terrain of a job that has started to feel like a home.
