But he forgets to protect his Livvie from one thing: Nick Sebring.

However, as Nick peels back the layers of all that is Olivia Shade, he finds something surprising. Then she meets Nick Sebring, and even as she fights it, the hope that died years ago starts to blossom. She pays the price for seeking escape and learns her lesson - she'll never see a dawn where she wakes up free. They want her all the way in, right under their thumbs. Her problem is that they don't want her outside. Olivia Shade has grown up on the outside of her family, too.

And he has no qualms about using Olivia Shade to exact that vengeance. When his love is murdered right before Nick's eyes, Nick knows he has to avenge her. And as he does this, he falls in love and truly learns the man that he's grown to be. But when this culminates with Nick lashing out to hurt his brother through the woman he loves, Nick turns inward and makes some decisions about the man he intends to be. Born feeling like an outsider in his own family, growing up under the shadow of a brother who could do anything, Nick isn't that great of a guy.
