Love is giving someone the power to destroy you and trusting them not to. It's a risk people take in pursuit of happiness: a foolish one. One, he vowed, to never regard.
Having grown up around heartache and neglect, Vincent Spade was a broken shell of a man.
To the world, he was no more than an icy phantom.
To her, he would soon be the world.
Isabella Hope, the newly hired assistant of Vince Spade.
Kind, determined, and a ray of sunshine.
What happens when she finds herself drawn to the infamous Ice King? What happens when a glimpse of the broken man beneath the mask catches the eye of an angel?
"I- I'm scared of butterflies."
'The CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, scared of butterflies.' I thought, trying to suppress a giggle. Why is that oddly cute?
