When Korra is forced into his mansion as payment for her father’s failure, she becomes trapped in a world where rules are unspoken and emotions are dangerous. She hates him for his control. She fears him for his power. And yet… she begins to see the man beneath the armor. As tension turns into desire and resistance slowly gives way to trust, Korra must decide—will she fight for her freedom, or risk her heart on a man who swore never to love?
