Overview

Peyton Carter, a reserved eighteen-year-old, unexpectedly finds herself drawn to her teacher, Emily Davis. At twenty-seven, Emily carries the reputation of being distant and unapproachable—an “ice queen” in the eyes of others. Yet beneath her guarded exterior lies a woman who has endured heartbreak too many times, leaving her with walls built high to protect herself. Despite her best efforts, Peyton cannot resist her growing feelings for Emily. But as their story unfolds, the question lingers: will Emily allow herself to return Peyton’s affection, or will their connection only lead to pain for them both?
