Behind Closed Doors
by Shain Rose
Blurb:
Jameson Knight arrives at precisely the same time every day to pick up his young daughter from school, smiling as she runs into his open arms.
It’s the only time I see him smile.
I don’t ask questions because it’s not my place. I’m just his daughter’s favorite teacher, nothing more. . . . Until the first bullet flies by us at recess.
Suddenly, I’m risking my life to protect her. And then Jameson drags me back to his estate, claiming it’s a matter of life-or-death.
Now I’m in the most beautiful home I’ve ever seen, faced with an offer from a man who’s just as gorgeous: Be the temporary live-in nanny until he can ensure my safety and find a more permanent solution. It’ll be easy, he promises.
Yet, the arrangement is anything but simple.
Not when Jameson’s hungry stare is all consuming and his touch pulse racing.
And definitely not when I find that nothing in this neighborhood is as it seems, including Jameson.
He may be powerful, possessive, and protective. But he’s also dangerous, demanding, and calculating.
As more of his secrets come out, I should run but . . .
How do I escape the enigma of Jameson Knight if he’s already captured my heart?

Behind Closed Doors by Shain Rose
This book was hot. Like fan yourself, look around
to see if anyone is reading over your shoulder, maybe question your life
choices kind of hot. It honestly reminded me of those addictive little reel
series that start off innocent enough. You tell yourself you will just watch
one or two, and next thing you know you are emotionally invested, slightly
stressed, and somehow considering spending money just to see what happens next.
That was me with this book. Hooked, confused about how I got there, but absolutely
not leaving.
The tension in this story? Out of control. You
have him, this intense, dangerous, mob adjacent mystery man tied to some secret
society, walking around like he owns the air everyone breathes. Then you have
her, just living her life as his daughter’s teacher, trying to mind her
business and absolutely failing because this man exists in her orbit. The setup
alone is enough to make you sit up a little straighter. The whole vibe is very
much “this is a bad idea” mixed with “but what if it wasn’t though.”
And the internal struggle? Delicious. It is
that constant push and pull of I should not want this, this is wrong, this is
complicated, this is probably going to ruin my life… but also maybe just one
more conversation, one more look, one more moment. The tension really does
write itself because you already know they should not, which obviously means
they absolutely will. And we are all here for it.
Also, let’s talk about the universal truth
this book reinforces. A bad boy with a questionable moral compass but a
secretly soft center will always win. Every time. Across all timelines. I do
not make the rules. There is just something about a man who could ruin your
life but instead chooses to be obsessed with you that hits every single time.
This book is packed with action, drama, and
enough chemistry to make you pause and reread certain scenes just to fully
absorb what is happening. It is one of those reads where you tell yourself you
will stop at the end of the chapter, but suddenly it is three in the morning
and you are too far gone to quit now.
This
was my first time reading Shain Rose, and let me tell you, it will not be my
last. I am already mentally preparing to fall down this rabbit hole again
because clearly I learned nothing the first time. And honestly? No regrets.
