The Babysitter — Diana Diamond
IS SHE A DREAM COME TRUE...
Gordon and Ellie Acton are the ultimate power couple: beautiful rich pillars of New England society. As a congressional candidate, Gordon is on the verge of political triumph and too well aware that his wife longs to escape the spotlight's relentless glare, if only for the summer. Hoping that voters will be even more impressed by his concern for the underprivileged, he hires a young woman from a poor background to baby-sit the children at the Actons' summer home on Cape Cod...
...OR THEIR WORST NIGHTMARE?
Theresa Santiago appears wise beyond her years; she's alluringly attractive and self-assured. After a drunken tryst with Theresa, Gordon finds himself in hot water, scrambling to protect his reputation. And Ellie, who has gratefully accepted Theresa's help in writing her dissertation, receives letters accusing her of plagiarism and worse. Now what seemed like the answer to their domestic needs and political aspirations appears to be a threat to everything Gordon and Ellie hold dear. But who's setting up whom? And how far will one family go to protect their privileged lives?
