The Summer Nanny: An Emerald City Thriller Novella

De: Audrey J. Cole

Narrado por: Veronica Pace

It was the perfect summer job—until it turned into her worst nightmare.

Bridgett is enjoying an idyllic summer as the nanny for Leo, the son of Paul and Emily Cooper—a famous actor and renowned charity founder. Not only is she generously compensated to care for Leo at the couple’s Seattle waterfront estate, she develops a special bond with the little boy. In addition to the financial perks of the job, Bridgett has fallen into a summer love affair with Chris, a landscaper who works at the property.

It’s the Fourth of July. Leo’s parents are holding a major event for their charity at the top of the Space Needle. When a masked intruder breaks into the home and takes Leo hostage, Bridgett will do anything to save the boy’s life. She complies with the burglar’s demands to retrieve a multi-million-dollar heirloom necklace from the home, yet she quickly discovers that he hasn’t come for the necklace at all…

Detectives Blake Stephenson and Tess Richards are celebrating the Fourth at the Cooper’s charity gala where Tess is being honored for her volunteer work. However, their evening is dampened when Tess’s younger brother, Chris, fails to show up for the event. As they leave the event early, hoping to find answers, they learn the security system is down at the Cooper’s mansion…and that Chris isn’t the only one missing from the party.

This is a short exciting listen.


Bridgett is enjoying a wonderful summer as the nanny for an adorable little boy. As time passes she and Chris the landscaper begin a romance. One evening when the parents are out, everything changes. Fast pace, full of action this thriller novella will keep the listener on edge. It is pretty graphic, so if you are offended by blood and mayhem it may not be for you.



The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Veronica Pace brought the story to life.

The Summer Nanny

This a fast paced fun short story. The narration is nice and easy to listen to. I did feel a bit lost at times since this was my first book in the series An Emerald City. I also felt that a bit more back story could have been added. Overall great plot and defiantly worth a listen.

Great Addition to the Series!

This is the third book in the Emerald City series. This short novella is well written, and suspenseful. The storyline is captivating, filled with unpredictable twists and turns. Veronica Pace did a fantastic job with the narration. Looking forward to listening to Viable Hostage, the next book in the series.

Loved this!! <3

I am really enjoying this series! I love the writing style and the narration is excellent. I am not usually a fan of novellas. I always feel like I need more than these little short stories can provide. Not the case here. But I am glad that the next book in the series is a full sized one!
