“As she stepped into the marble-floored lobby, murmurs trailed behind her. "Isn't she the woman who cheated on her husband?" "I heard she ruined his career" "I thought she left the country in shame" Karen ignored them, keeping her gaze forward. If she reacted, they'd win. What happens when a distraught Karen who finalized her divorce with Lucas Miller, her simple and middle class husband five years ago bumps into him unexpectedly? Her actions had hurt him badly in the past and now she has to live in a society that does not support her and treats her like an outcast. No family who supports her and protects her. When a business issue collides with the company's interest and Lucas has to be re-married, what stops the marriage process and why does he refuse to marry the other? His cold aloofness gets the better of the situation but the spark of desire between them keeps igniting and threatening to burn them. Would they be able to withstand the fire? Would the fire burn their desires to nothingness?”
