Piece By Piece

"Ice-Queen" Valeria Rosen is cold, sarcastic, and stubborn. Her mom's a work-a-holic, her brother's depressed, and her? Well, that's the scary part.
After her dad's tragic death, she's built a wall that seperates her from others, making her an outcast and untouchable. She doesn't believe in fairy-tales or true-love, either.
That is, until she meets Lex.
Lex is the hot, new kid who knows how to push Val's buttons and drive her insane. He's cocky, confident, a know-it-all, and intoxicatingly, unbearably sexy...
As Val continuely attempts to not fall for Lex, she soon learns that her various walls and masks aren't as protective as she thinks. The only thing that keeps her sane is her undeniable affection towards animals and her growing love for Lex.
Could the possibility of love help mend Val's opened scars, or will it make everything in Val's world fall apart piece by piece?
