Preface

What happens when a girl that has been consistently failed by others meets a guy who thinks that every problem has a solution?

Nicole Wade's sense of pride and justice earnestly conflicts with her ambitions, morals, and health. Nicole has dealt with her mother's treatment for far too long, she has grown apathetic, weightless. The people who said they would care for have not, so why go through the trouble of trusting anyone anymore. Words mean nothing. Why would Eric VanGuard be any different?

For Eric VanGuard everything has a cause and effect. So, how is it that Nicole Wade is having problems when she's one of the most capable people he has ever met? Eric intends to find out.
