Arrogant, controlling Mark Compton meets direct, unconquerable Crystal Smith when he travels from San Francisco to New York to visit his ill mother in the hospital.  Crystal is everything Mark has never been attracted to.  She's blond and he prefers brunettes...she's forceful and not meek; and she's controlling and not submissive.  Yet he's very attracted to her even when he tries not to be.  She's refreshing and a real challenge to him.Crystal is as much a control freak as Mark is and this is what he finds stimulating about her.  She's taboo to him, yet he cannot control his desire to conquer her and have her submit.  She's quick witted and full of spunk and she's not the least bit intimidated by Mark's power and controlling nature....his need to control.  She understands him implicitly with her outrageously bold personality.  I loved her!This novella is very fast paced...it HAS to be, it's a Novella!  It reveals, FINALLY!, Mark Compton's vulnerabilities and humanity.  We find he's NOT as formidable as he leads us to believe.  He's human and he suffers!  He has weaknesses that he hides well.  This short and brief peek into the real person Mark Compton is was a fascinating revelation and long time coming.
