They Call Her Snow

"No one can save me," I whispered as the tears rolled down my cheeks. Kaleb's eyes softened as he gently wiped them away and kissed the top of my head.

"I don't care what they say, Snow. I saved you once, from the cold. And I'll do it again.. even if it kills me." He held me tight and whispered. "You're my best friend. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you."

This is the story of a beautiful but broken girl named Lydia. She was abused by her parents until she was sixteen. She ran away and now lives with her best friend, Kaleb, whose parents abandoned him when he was a kid and taught him to fend for himself. He found her one day in the freezing cold, so he has called her Snow ever since, and the name has stuck.

Together, they might as well be orphans, but they remain close. The tension between them gets hotter and hotter each day, but it seems nothing can melt the ice in Snow's heart. She still has scars all over her, both mentally and physically, reminding her of the terrible abuse she suffered at the hands of her father and mother.

Only Kaleb can ease her pain, but even he can't melt the ice she holds deep in her heart. What will happen when he confesses his love to Snow, the only real friend he's ever had? And what will happen when Snow's parents come looking for her, determined to bring their daughter back to a place where she never wants to go again?
