Overwhelmed after witnessing the aftermath of her sister's ruined relationship, Alycia Beaumont realises it's not just her who has been destroyed by love, and she can't stand to go through it again. She makes herself a promise, declares she will never fall in love, and within months, her life is soaring towards success; and her focus on her career has pushed all thoughts of love to the back of her mind.
Not everyone has forgotten her promise. Having perceived it as a challenge, powers Alycia never imagined commit to showing her who is in control. Thrust into a new world, Alycia scrambles to decipher the truths from the lies, and find who she can rely on, not having trusted anyone but herself until now. Love may conquer all, but how can she trust it, when she doesn't know what- or who- is real?

"How can I believe that, after everything that's happened?"
Guilt flashed across his face, but he shook it off, covered it with a quirk of a smile. "I guess I'm asking you to trust me."
Awesome! :) Winter is coming..... Loved the unexpected detail of the caravan melting the snow around it
