The Babysitter’s Club Series Box Set by Jordan Silver

When I was only thirteen, my life was turned upside down. My father had an affair, mom lost her mind and was shut away in an asylum, and I was passed off to an old aunt. Now eight years later, I’m seeking vengeance against the one who brought my world crashing down. It’s only fair, don’t you think? Let’s see how she likes her cushy little life being disrupted by someone younger, prettier

It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. A bad breakup and a near-death experience had sent me into hiding; I guess you can say. And that’s why I ended up here in this remote place, far away from everything.
The house was beautiful; the nearest neighbor was miles away, and all around us were nothing but trees and nature.
I didn’t mind though, from the moment I stepped foot on the driveway, it felt like coming home. There was something about the place that seemed familiar, though I was sure that I’d never been there before.
And the father, the man whose baby I would be watching, seemed like someone I’d met before. If I were into fanciful daydreams, I’d say it was as if we knew each other in another life.
Just one look in his eyes, and I could get lost. It was all very confusing—especially the flashbacks to an earlier time. A time when I knew him, intimately it seemed.
The visions and dreams were so real I’d wake up in a sweat, with a fever between my thighs, and I
I could swear there were teeth marks on my nipples. Still, instead of fear, I wanted to know more. Like what was it about the place, about him, that seemed so familiar?

I was supposed to be the babysitter, that’s what they told me. What they didn’t tell me is that they were at the tail end of a bitter divorce and that I would be caught in the middle of a cold war between two parents and children who had already chosen sides, but because of the law, had no real say in what they did.
I’d been hired by the father, a hotter, sexier thirty-something I have never seen. At twenty-one and in my third year of college, I needed the job because the pay was good and the hours flexible. Plus, with my new dorm falling through because of a clerical error, I needed a place to stay. So I guess you could say this job fell into my lap at the most opportune time.

You always hear stories about men leaving their wives for the babysitter. Society is quick to rush to judgment on that one, like a lion on a gazelle’s hindquarters. But has anyone ever really stopped to question why? Is it that all men are so weak that they can’t refuse a little sweet on the side, and so they throw away their marriage, children, and sometimes half their wealth? How stupid can all these men be if they’re running around being led by their meat? It’s a wonder anything gets done in life if that’s the case. Well, I may have been one of those people in the past, one of the ones who questioned just how hard did the old guy put up a fight to deny the little tease, etc. But since I’ve become one of the crowd myself, I can tell you; things aren’t always what they seem.

Jenny Somerset fell in love with the handsome teenage Derrick the moment she first laid eyes on him. She was eight and he sixteen, with no use for her, but she knew, deep down inside, she knew that one day he would be hers. And when she boldly told him that she was going to marry him one day and he agreed to wait for her until she was eighteen, she had no idea that he said it in jest, just to humor the kid who followed him around all day with stars in her eyes.
Now he’s back after years away, and she’s unrecognizable.
