Lily has counted on her looks to secure a wealthy husband, but every attempt fails and leaves her pinned beneath her family's demands.
Called the Ice Princess, she drives suitors away with a sharp wit and a cold manner, edging toward spinsterhood under her overbearing mother.

Caught between power and seduction, Lily faces a choice between a love that could consume her and the uneasy safety of the life she already knows.
