E' una prigione di vetro che riflette solo bugie e ambizioni. Per chi vive all'ombra dei suoi segreti, sopravvivere significa imparare a respirare nel gelo, tra il profumo dolce di un negozio di fiori e il rumore di una campanella che non smette mai di suonare. Violet Callahan è diventata parte di quel gelo. Si nasconde dietro mura di spine, convinta che il silenzio sia l'unico modo per proteggere ciò che resta del suo cuore. Ma quando Noah Whitman varca la soglia del suo negozio, la sua fortezza inizia a crollare. Noah è la nuova stella del football dei Montana Bears, ha lo sguardo di chi non teme nulla e una sicurezza di sè che Violet non può sopportare. E' l'invasore che ha osato prendere un posto che non gli apparteneva. E' l'errore più bello e pericoloso che Violet possa commettere. In questa città, la bellezza è solo una maschera e la verità brucia più della neve sulla pelle nuda. Mentre l'odio tra loro si trasforma in una tensione che toglie il fiato, Violet e Noah capiranno che anche i petali più puri hanno spine velenose.
