As the housekeeper's son, Nicolai is warned not to touch anything in the Roth house, especially their only daughter Arya. He first met her when they were 12 and she was unlike anything he expected. They become friends and spend every day together that summer and the next. But then the summer they both turned 14, Arya's father catches them at their first kiss. The next thing Nicolai knows he in an all male boarding school, black and blue, and never sees his mother again.
Years later, he has opportunity at revenge when a court case comes up against Conrad Roth and his PR consultant is none other than daughter Arya. He's changed his name and his image and it HAS been 18 years, but Christian still can't believe she doesn't recognize him. Did he mean that little to her? As the case moves on, his feelings move from thoughts of revenge to how to keep her in his life.
I love how these two lost kids from terrible homes found each other and became best friends. And they're so IT for each other that neither one found any lasting relationship in all the years between. How Christian waited for her every day...<swoon>! But I did feel like shaking him when, after finding out what she really thought happened to him, he didn't tell the truth that he was Nicolai! I'm so excited that this is part of a series. Nicolai's friends, especially Riggs, are fascinating characters and I can't wait to read their stories!
