Never fall in love with a mortal. Rhys is a cursed man. He broke the one rule he had sworn to follow and now he is paying the price. Exiled from the fey realms and on the run, who can he turn to for help? When his brother comes looking for him things might not be as easy as simply running away... Frosted lashes, silent lips, Winter grasps cold fingertips. Through the night and through the day, Winter's song begins to play. thank you to @matt-murdock for the beautiful cover :) ****WARNING**** This story is extremely unedited and will barely make sense. I begun writing this over three years ago and haven't looked at it in over 8 months. Suffice to say, the plot is disjointed and confusing, and there are so many plot holes that there are more holes than there is actual plot at this point. However, I won't be taking this down because at some point in the future I may return to it and edit and rewrite. So, read on at your own peril. There will be many errors ahead. Thank you.

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.
