At nineteen, Y/N has already lost everything. After her parents die, she sells their house and takes the highest-paying job she can find: live-in maid for the Ashford family. She cooks, cleans, and moves quietly through their three-story mansion of gold fixtures, wide gardens, and endless windows. The Ashfords are kind. Their only son, William, is not what she expected. Twenty-one and freshly returned from vacation, he is unused to sharing his home with a girl his own age who never truly leaves. At first he barely speaks to her. Then he starts noticing the way she works, the soft scent of roses that clings to her after she tends the garden, and how empty the house feels when she drives away every Friday in her father’s old car. What begins as quiet curiosity becomes something deeper. William falls slowly. Then he falls hard. She is only the maid. He is the billionaire’s heir. And neither of them is ready for how much the other will come to mean.
