If you can trust your enemy with your life, what's to stop him from stealing your heart? Hopelessly unlucky in love and a target for tragedy, Joselyn Whyte hardly leads the charmed life you'd expect of an heiress. When she becomes the mark of an arsonist, the last person she expects to ride to her rescue is her nemesis-the man who sealed her fate as a frigid and lonely "Snow Whyte." Firefighter Finn Carson might talk a big game, but behind the swagger and the dimples is a man tormented by a mistake that cost a life. When a force stronger than his stubbornness pulls him off the bench and into a 5-Alarm fire for a miraculous save, Finn decides the key to his redemption lies with the Ice Princess he loathes. But the price to freedom from the guilt and nightmares might be too steep if it means bartering with Joselyn's father by posing as her boyfriend-her safety and the ruthless billionaire's Senatorial campaign hanging on the combustible edge of a decade old grudge. When secrets from the past resurface, the ruse and reality collide and threaten to thaw their heated rivalry-turning hate into something that terrifies them even more than the cunning predator with a bent sense of justice.
