Nickolas appears to be stalking Iliana where she works at a restaurant. When they eventually meet, the story quickly turns into a heated romance. Iliana knows very little about Nickolas' past, but she is quickly introduced to the violence of his former lifestyle when they become the victims of a drive-by shooting and she ends up taking bullets for him.After Iliana's recovery from being shot, Nickolas reveals his past to her. When she discovers that he was the leader of the gang that murdered her parents, Iliana accuses him of needing to appease his guilt by having a relationship with her. She leaves him, angry and disgusted at herself for trusting this rich man so much. The psychology of the guilt and passion in this story is very appealing to me. Sandra does an incredible job of developing Nickolas' character based on the guilt from his past, and his current passion for Iliana.Iliana still knows very little about Nickolas' past, and realizes that she is in over her head when she is kidnapped by a member of Nickolas' former gang. As with all hero and victim stories, Nickolas ends up coming to the rescue for Iliana. It is only then that Iliana understands how much she loves Nickolas and doesn't want to live without him. She agrees to marry him, and like all fairy tales, they vow to live happily ever after.
