Prince of Ice
LAUREL, a young beauty as natural and captivating as a midnight snowfall on the rustic Vermont village that had been her home.

FRANCO, a breathtakingly handsome Austrian nobleman, whose swift, stern voice commanded an alpine world of elegance and wealth.

In his eyes, the crystal blue of winter glistened like ice. In her heart, the strength of love burned pure and bright like fire.

Though storms of deceit, treachery, and misunderstanding brought anger and tears, each knew the unspoken longing of the other. If only they could be alone, then all words would be lost forever - for their lips would form the whispers only passion can breathe, only love can speak, only hearts can hear.
