Child's Prey
(2026)(The third book in the Nanny Problem series)
A novel by Nolon King and Lauren Street
A Hollywood dynasty. A deadly secret. A nanny caught in a killer’s spotlight.
Zoe’s latest nanny gig seems perfect. This one is in Hollywood, and she’s looking after thirteen-year-old Talon Penrose, son of A-list actress Rose Marlowe. There’s sunshine, sandy beaches, and a sprawling Hollywood Hills mansion.
Only behind the gates of the Marlowe estate, the family is competing for their father’s film empire.
And Zoe is approached with a secret assignment: spy on the people who sign her paychecks. After all, Rose’s father has to choose his heir somehow.
But then a member of the family turns up dead.
And when a private investigator’s body washes ashore, Zoe realizes the two deaths are connected—and the killer is far from finished.
To protect Talon, Zoe must untangle decades of lies, including the truth behind matriarch Isabella Marlowe’s mysterious drowning thirty years earlier.
Because in this family, the past isn’t just haunting… It’s hunting.
Child’s Prey is the next chilling installment in The Nanny Problem Thrillers from best-selling authors Lauren Street and Nolon King.
