Kara Koul never knew that love was a weakness. She had assumed it was a strength, as she lived vicariously through the love of her Papa had for her mother. But, when her mother passes away from pancreatic cancer, Kara is left questioning whether love is truly a determining factor of strength within an individual. Making a promise to herself at such a young age to never fall in love because of heartache that would result from the loss of such love, Kara had yet to learn that love could not be controlled. Who better than to learn it from the Mr. Nikolay Steel, a ruthless, workaholic billionaire who had found a new addiction besides money and competition? "My sweet Kara, do not look at me like that unless you want me to kiss you." He held my neck in the primal manner of when a male held his female. His fingers weren't tight, but still his dominance leaked through this hold. His lips inches closer, and by then I knew my fate was sealed.
