Stranded. Trapped. Snowed In.

With her.

This blizzard keeps me from fulfilling my duty as my father's successor, leading a business empire that has no equal. I have all the money in the world, but it is useless against this act of nature.

Beautiful small town girl Lena offers me shelter in her lonely home, even though we didn’t get off to a good start.

We didn’t get off to a good start, but now we’re forced to ride out this damn blizzard together, trapped in her strange house, snapping at each other and bantering back and forth like an old couple, even though we just met.

It may be the alluring depth of sadness in her ocean blue eyes, her flawless porcelain skin, or the sweet and tantalizing lure of the mulled wine she’s making – but something tells me, she’s ready to take what I have to offer.
She’s not sassy by default, but she’s awaking the monster in me.

And there’s nowhere for either of us to run.
