Lenora June Reed's life is as cold as winter. Born in the heat of summer, she's haunted by her mother's death and raised in the shadows of her father's distant affection. She keeps her heart locked away, burying the pain and pretending everything's fine.
Charles Jasper Winthale, on the other hand, is everything Lenora despises. Privileged, charming, and impossibly confident, he seems to have the world at his feet. But behind his smirk lies a hunger for something real, a connection he can't seem to find in his perfect life.
When they meet at Ravendale University, their worlds collide in a storm of rivalry and undeniable chemistry. Lenora wants nothing to do with him, but Charles isn't easily deterred. As their lives intertwine, they'll discover that even the coldest hearts can thaw-and that maybe, just maybe, they can find warmth in each other.
