Duty of Care

Claire arrives at a Provençal vineyard with a suitcase and a professional smile. The job is simple: prenatal nurse to Élodie Mercier, who has a high-risk pregnancy and a husband who watches Claire like he already knows how this ends.

Luc keeps his distance. Élodie pulls her close. And Claire — who has spent twelve years not naming what she wants — starts to unravel between them. The affair is reckless. The attraction to his wife is the thing she can't admit. And when the truth detonates, it costs all three of them everything. A career. A marriage. A body that was never hers to risk. What comes after isn't forgiveness. It's a choice — made with open eyes, in a valley that remembers everything.

DUTY OF CARE is a high-heat literary romance about forbidden desire, bisexual awakening, and the brutal, beautiful work of building a love no one gave you permission to have.

18+ For Mature Readers. Contains explicit sexual content, polyamorous relationships, and emotionally intense scenes. All intimate scenes involve consenting adults. This story earns its happy ending — but not without cost.
