The Perfect Nanny by Shari J. Ryan

The

Perfect

Nanny


“My baby! You stole my baby!” Lara Smith is hysterical, her red lipstick smeared. A teddy lies abandoned in the empty crib. But I wasn't hired to look after a baby. I didn’t even know this nursery existed…

Lara’s husband calls the police and screams: “The nanny has taken our little girl.”

I’m frozen in shock. This is impossible. I was only meant to be looking after the Smiths' nine-year-old twins…

I'm certain that earlier this evening when they left for their fancy event—Lara in high heels and a floor-length gown, Corbin in a tux—they never mentioned a baby. And they definitely didn’t show me this nursery room, up in the eaves of their sprawling, beachfront mansion.

But their angelic blonde twins are now blinking at me in matching horror, and my heart pounds painfully as handcuffs snap shut around my wrists.

As I'm pushed towards the waiting police car, I look back one last time and meet Lara's eyes. Am I imagining the cold calculation in them?

I try to swallow my panic. Why was I really hired for this job?


And then an even more chilling thought races through my mind. Do Lara and Corbin know who I really am? Because if they do, my life is in terrible danger…

The Nurse Behind the Gates by Shari J Ryan

The

Nurse

Behind

the Gates


Dachau, 1942. Emilie has been told she’s here to nurse evil men. But the first patient she sees in the cold, dark room is hauntingly familiar. Her first love is not wicked. He couldn’t be. What is he doing here?

 

Emilie’s heart stops as she takes in her childhood sweetheart hunched in a tattered prisoner’s uniform, the light lost from his face. Her new husband, Otto, said this was a camp for criminals. He should know, he’s the doctor. But Danner would never have broken the law.

 

As she looks into Danner’s beautiful brown eyes, she's transported back to their happy childhood in Munich. The friendship they shared. The way her heart once felt like it beat only for him. Before the Jewish laws were enforced and Danner pushed Emilie away to protect her, breaking her heart.

 

Now, Emilie rushes to find Otto, desperate for answers. But when she discovers him waiting with confidentiality papers for her to sign, she realizes her husband has been lying. This isn’t a place to treat sick criminals, but to murder the innocent. And Otto tells her if she doesn’t help, they'll both die.

 

Her hands shake as she receives her instructions. But as she rushes back to the sickbay, searching for a way to escape, her gaze lands on Danner once more. In his eyes, she can see something that almost looks like hope… 

 

The thought of losing her first love again tears Emilie’s heart in two. She's determined to keep him alive, and perhaps she can alter the fate of more than just one prisoner. But can she save Danner? Or will she die trying to rescue the man she’s never stopped loving?

Shari J Ryan, USA Today and International Bestselling Author

Over the last decade of writing more than thirty-five novels, I have found  a deep passion for Women's Fiction, Historical Fiction with a focus on  World War Two, and now, Psychological Thrillers too.


As the granddaughter of two Holocaust survivors, I feel a strong sense of purpose while writing historically accurate portrayals of a life many of us can't imagine. I'm grateful for the chance I had to sit in front of them and listen to their stories. For my great-grandfather, great-uncle, and the many cousins I will never know, I refuse to let their existence be forgotten. 


With the intense subject matter of World War II, I've begun writing in the Psychological Thriller genre as well to grow within my (sometimes dark) craft of storytelling.


Writing is more than a passion for me; it's my way of expression and connecting with others. I thrive to share each and every feeling and emotion I experience while living within these stories alongside each reader who picks up one of my books.

The Perfect Nanny by Shari J. Ryan

“My baby! You stole my baby!” Lara Smith is hysterical, her red lipstick smeared. A teddy lies abandoned in the empty crib. But I didn’t know the Smiths had a baby. I didn’t even know this nursery existed… Lara’s husband - deathly white - dials 911 and says: “The babysitter has taken our little girl.” I’m in shock. This is impossible. Because earlier this evening when the Smiths left for their fancy charity gala - Lara in high heels and a floor-length gown, Corbin in a tux - they never mentioned a baby. And they certainly didn’t show me this nursery room, up in the eaves of their sprawling, beachfront mansion. The Smiths only hired me to take care of their nine-year-old twins, now blinking at me in matching horror. As I’m taken away in handcuffs, I try to swallow my terror. Because my being here is no coincidence. When my own darkest secret is spilled, will anyone believe I’m innocent? And who is really in danger: This perfect couple? Their missing child? Or me?

There are so many books and so little time!
