The story of the Snow Queen as you've never seen it. Perhaps, she's not quite as wicked as stories have told. Kai is perfectly unhappy with his life. Forced into a betrothal to save his family, he sees nothing good in his future. In fact, his betrothed seems to hate everything he enjoys—especially winter. He can't imagine her scathing words at discovering his dominant nature. It's his secret, and she doesn't deserve to know. His prospects look grim…until the Queen of Winter arrives. Wyn has spent her life alone, living vicariously through those who love winter. One man in particular holds her attention. A shop boy from a small village—a shop boy who's no boy at all. If only she could have him for herself. She sees his nature and craves his dominance, but one tiny thing stands in their way. No human can touch her without experiencing icy agony and even death. But once Kai has her in his sights, even the possibility of death won't stand in his way. She might be the queen, but when all is said and done, he'll be her king.
