Alexandra Reid decided four years ago that feelings were overrated. Instead of coping with the tragedy of that summer before her freshmen year of high school, she hardened her heart to stone and dedicated herself to being the perfect student, to achieving her new vision of perfection, and to steer away from anyone and everyone who could possibly penetrate her wall of ice. Carter Pierce has it all, the look, the money, and the charisma. So when his parents decide to relocate to the town his great-something grandfather founded he used to visit in the summers as a child, he is immediately welcomed and cherished by everyone, well everyone except Alexandra Reid that is. Intrigued by the cold nature of the brilliant and beautiful girl, Carter makes it his mission to uncover the mystery of the ice queen herself.
