Warming a Frozen Heart

Warming a Frozen Heart
Ethan has always preferred being alone.
Quiet, distant, and uncomfortable around people, he spends most of his time helping at his aunt's small shop and keeping the world at arm's length. To everyone around him, he seems cold and uninterested. The truth is that opening up has always felt impossible.
Everything changes when Lily walks into the shop.
Bright, kind, and impossible to ignore, Lily slowly breaks through Ethan's walls with nothing more than patience, friendship, and a smile that can brighten even his darkest days.
As their bond grows from friendship into something deeper, Ethan discovers that caring about someone means taking risks. Together they'll face misunderstandings, heartbreak, and the challenges of growing up, while learning that even the coldest heart can be warmed by the right person.
A story about friendship, first love, and finding the courage to let someone in.
Sometimes the coldest hearts just need one warm smile to change everything.
