Prologue
I was afraid to love after the various trials and tribulations I had had in the department. Boys always seemed to take advantage and leave me until I had nothing more to offer them. Most of the time they wanted the one thing I wouldn’t give them; and we all know what that one thing is. But, as I stared at Vladimir, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him more and more with every passing second. It was stupid to feel this way because he was nearly two years older than I was, yet there was something different about him, a good kind of different. And he makes me feel as though I’m the only girl on this earth.
