Once upon a time, each winter, as snow begins to fall, a woman is offered to the Beast of the Highlands, a man condemned to live without warmth… unable to love.
They say he’s been searching for the exception who can make him feel emotion again… the chosen one who could finally break his curse.
This winter, I am the offering.
When I wake inside a vast, decaying Gothic mansion high in the snowy Scottish Highlands, my life shatters overnight.
The walls whisper. The shadows breathe. And the man who rules them doesn’t just watch me—he haunts me.
Always there. Always unseen.
Powerful, dominant, enigmatic—as terrifying as he is fascinating.
Alistair McLeod.
My captor.
My tormentor.
And above all… the man without a heart.
He will stop at nothing to break me.
I will stop at nothing to be free.
They say he’s made of ice.
Turns out, I’m nothing but fire.
He didn’t just kidnap me—he made me his bride.
He may own my body, but he’ll never have my heart.
In the snowy Highlands, a timeless gothic dark fairytale unfolds—a spicy, enemies-to-lovers retelling of Beauty and the Beast, steeped in the haunting allure of Crimson Peak and laced with subtle supernatural undertones.
