After the tragic loss of her parents and brother, Karliah was forced to leave her abusive aunt's home and start afresh in New York. However, fate had other plans for her. A chance encounter with a mysterious and attractive stranger led to a passionate one night stand. Soon, Karliah found herself entangled in a royal affair, vying for Prince Nicolas's affections. But when Princess Lisa arrived, Karliah's hopes began to waver.

A ROYAL SCANDAL

While leaving the arena, I bumped into Nick. I was about to fall, but he caught me by the waist and pulled me closer. 


"You should watch where you're going, Karliah." 


It was the paparazzi. I tried to move away from him, but Nick wasn't willing to let me go. 


"Who gives a damn about them, Karliah? I don't care anymore; you're the only woman I want." 


Nick moved closer, slowly cupping one of my cheeks gently and leaning in closer. 


Nick claimed my lips in a passionate kiss, and to my surprise, my lips moved of their own accord as our tongues fought for dominance. 


Nick snapped his fingers in my face, trying to get me back to reality. As I snapped out of my thoughts, I realized that I had been shamelessly staring at his lips.
