THE TEMP GIRL

Behind every perfect gate lies a buried truth.

​

All Avery wanted was a part-time, temporary job. What she got was a glimpse behind the gates—and nothing would ever be the same.

​

She’s just trying to keep her head above water. With college graduation three months away, she’s running on caffeine, half-eaten granola bars, and blind hope. Between cramming for finals and juggling mounting stress, a part-time gig with flexible hours and decent pay sounded like the perfect solution.

​

But nothing could have prepared her for the moment she pulled up to the massive black gates. Stone pillars rose on either side, topped with golden lettering. A security code she wasn’t even sure she should have gave way to the slow groan of the gates opening. As her car slipped inside, Avery could not shake the feeling that she was entering something far more than just a house.

​

Inside, she meets her new employer, a man whose quiet confidence, striking good looks, and piercing blue eyes make it difficult to keep her guard up. She is just the temp girl, an outsider. Yet the more time she spends in the house, the more she realizes that charm can be as dangerous as secrets, and the deeper she is pulled into its strange dynamics, the harder it becomes to know who to trust.
