Teddi Whitehall was a sweet young woman who became a emotional punching bag for Kingston Devereaux. He was so mean to her that his sister Jennie constantly wanted Teddi to come to their ranch in Calgary so King could beat Teddi emotional. It seemed to me that Jennie was cruel to her friend. But King took a piece off of Teddi, every time he had a chance to. King was attracted to Teddi, but he thought she could control him. King refused to be controlled by anyone. So from the time Teddi was 15 King has been mean to her. Then when Teddi got hurt in a car accident King went to her, he was angry because she didn't call him when she was hurt. Teddi finally stood up to him, but it did no good. King only had to kiss her & he had her in the palm of his hand. But he had one more (I won't hurt you for any thing) He told her to leave when he misunderstood her reply to his wanting her. She didn't want to be his kept woman, he meant marriage. So he took her to the airport to put her on a plane & get her out of his life, but he had to kiss her one last time. That was when truth came out, King had been trying to protect himself against the attraction Teddi had for him. Pg 185
