About The Book
Victoria Harding has always felt like an outsider. In her family, in society, even in the business world, she’s the one who doesn’t quite fit. Despite her polished appearance, people find her aloof and cold—and for the longest time, she’s accepted the loneliness that comes with it.
That is, until she sees him…
Mike Mayweather is everything she’s not: rough, rugged, and unapologetically unrefined. He has no patience for the woman they call the “Ice Princess”, and her obvious attraction to him only frustrates him more.
But there’s more to Vicky than he ever expected—layers of vulnerability, fears she’s hidden, and a softness that makes his heart stir.
When a confrontation leaves her shaken, Mike realises he’s not as unaffected by her as he thought.
For the first time ever, he’s determined to uncover the woman beneath the carefully constructed exterior—the one who might just change his life forever…
