About the book
She was nicknamed the Ice Princess Anne Chapin was reserved, shy and conventional. And she was astounded when cynical New York businessman Nicholas Thayer asked her to pose as his supposed mistress. Anne was involved with Joel, a man who badly wanted his own gallery and Nick's offer would provide the needed funding in return for a few weeks of her time. Driven to accept, Anne found it a time of discovery--of herself, of Nicholas and the pain of unrequited love. Somehow she had to find the confidence to melt herself, and Nick, too!
