Frostvale looks like a postcard - snow-dusted streets, twinkling lights, and the scent of cinnamon drifting through the air.
But beneath the sugar and snow, something darker stirs.
Vivienne Hale didn't come to Frostvale for love. She came to escape. A broken engagement, a trail of lies, and the kind of heartbreak that leaves bruises no one can see. All she wants is peace - a quiet Christmas alone in her rented cabin.
Then she meets Elias Frost.
The charming mayor. The man everyone adores.
The man who sees her before she even knows he's watching.
He's warmth wrapped in winter, kindness carved from ice - and behind his perfect smile lies a secret as deep as the snow that buries Frostvale. The more Vivienne lets him in, the more she realizes that Elias's love isn't gentle. It's consuming. Obsessive. Dangerous.
But maybe danger is exactly what she's been running toward all along.
Because in Frostvale, love doesn't just melt the snow.
It burns through it.
