When she arrives, however, she realizes she can't go through with it but is stuck in River Ice, Alaska, until the snow melts in a few weeks. She meets Paden Winters and is drawn to him despite his moodiness and ill temper. As she gets to know him, she realizes they are both dealing with issues of healing and concealing pain.

Or are some pains too deep to overcome? Note: This book contains cutting for sexual pleasure.
