Cracking the Ice Queen's Mask
Everyone at Eastwood High knows the 'Ice Queen,' but no one knows the girl shivering behind the mask.
To the world, Sadie is the untouchable, cold-hearted perfectionist. To her, the title is a survival tactic, a shield against the boys who treat her like a trophy and the rumors that threaten to drown her.
When the school's notorious 'Hard Guy' labels her the 'School Mother,' Sadie is thrust into a spotlight she never asked for. Trapped in a web of fake relationships, secret heartbreaks, and the suffocating pressure of being the "People's Girl," Sadie is one step away from shattering.
But while the school watches her throne, her academic rival, Carl, is the only one watching her truth.
He's the thorn in her side, the one man who refuses to bow to the Queen, and the only one who sees the cracks in her armor. In a game of social survival where one obsessed admirer is turning into a deadly shadow, Sadie must decide: will she keep her crown and stay frozen, or let the one person she hates melt the ice?
The higher the throne, the harder the fall. And someone is waiting to make sure she never gets back up.
