The only way that he can break the curse is to fall in love; truly fall in love. The only problem is that every woman that sees him ends up running away in fear. How can he fall in love when no one can give him the time of day? This realisation has made him the even colder man that he is today. Can the sweet yet feisty Ella thaw out Theodore's cold heart?
