The want ad read:NANNY WANTEDMust have desire for excitement, adventure, danger When Miranda Wilson is hired to care for Dominic Andrus' triplets, she has no idea she's about to have the adventure of a lifetime. At first, it's like the plot of a Gothic novel: young governess, mysterious employer, three motherless children, but there the resemblance ends, for Dominic Andrus is an interplanetary criminal, hiding his children on Earth to prevent their abduction. As she's thrown into a war between the Andruses and a madman sworn to destroy them, Miranda's life becomes a wild sci-fi movie. She takes it all in stride until she meets Kit, Dominic's younger brother, a man nursing a secret anguish. Miranda's ready to risk her life to save her young charges and the man she loves, even if it means she'll never see Earth again. Being a nanny has never been so exciting...or so deadly.
