Wanting What She Can't Have

Wanting What She Can't Have By Yvonne Lindsay


Craving the Forbidden…

Billionaire Raoul Benoit lets Alexis Fabrini, his late wife’s best friend, become his daughter’s nanny for one reason only: the baby deserves love and attention. Raoul doesn’t—he has to pay for his sins, which means steering clear of Alexis no matter how much he wants her.

The least Alexis can do is help out with this child. But she can’t let herself fall into bed with Raoul. She’s lived with her unrequited feelings for a long time—what’s a little while longer? The problem is, the feelings are more than requited, and can no longer be denied….



“You’re Here Now And Apparently I Can’t Do Anything About That.

“But let me make one thing very clear. I don’t want your sympathy, Alexis. I’m all sympathized out.”

“I can see that,” she said. Her voice was dry and calm but he could see the shadows in her dark chocolate brown eyes and he knew he’d hurt her.

He closed his own eyes briefly and dragged in a leveling breath. He hadn’t meant to be so harsh, but it was his default setting these days. “I’m going for a shower,” he said tightly and left.

He’d fought against this happening. He’d known, logically, that one day his defenses would be worn down. He just never imagined those defenses would be stormed by the one woman in the whole world he’d hoped never to see again and yet still craved with a hunger he could never assuage.
