From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Susie Tate comes an emotional opposites-attract romance about a guarded heroine who has never felt like she belongs, and the rugged hero determined to prove she does. This paperback edition includes exclusive bonus content not available in the ebook.

Victoria Harding has always been the outsider. In her family, in society and even in the business world, she is the woman people call cold, polished and untouchable. For years, Vicky has hidden behind that perfect exterior — because it is easier than letting anyone see how lonely she really is.

Then she meets Mike Mayweather.

Rough, rugged and unapologetically unrefined, Mike is everything Vicky is not. He has no patience for the so-called Ice Princess, and her obvious attraction to him only makes him more determined to keep his distance.

But there is more to Vicky than he expected: vulnerability beneath the armour, fear beneath the control, and a softness that unsettles him in ways he never saw coming.

When a confrontation leaves Vicky shaken, Mike realises he is not nearly as immune to her as he thought. Now he is determined to uncover the woman beneath the careful mask — and show her that being different was never the same as being unlovable.
