Publisher's summary

A scorching age-gap ice-queen romance with a happy ending.

Tara Staudenmeier: College student Tara Staudenmaier will do anything for her family. When medical debt looms, she doesn’t hesitate to do whatever it takes.

Even if it means putting herself - and her inexperience in love - up on the auction block.

She only asks that nobody discovers her biggest secret. The reason she’s gone gray at 20 and now has something to offer a would-be suitor looking for a monthlong affair.

Astrid Evans: Two years after the death of her husband, Astrid is used to the jokes and jeers from the peerage. Everyone knows she’s a trophy wife who received the inheritance of a lifetime.

But it didn’t come without a price. Traumatized by her former experiences, Astrid now spends her nights subjecting herself to the same events that once changed her life.

That’s how she discovers Tara, a young and naïve woman who will be chewed up by the same system that stole Astrid’s own youth.

The only key...hypocrisy.

When Tara arrives at Evans Manor for a month of companionship, Astrid rejects their mutual attraction, if only to sleep better at night.

Soon, she can’t sleep at all.

The electric chemistry between Astrid and Tara is unlike anything to hit the quiet country manor. While Tara explores what it means to fall in love and indulge in her lifelong fantasies, Astrid confronts the nightmares that have turned her into the ice-cold queen of her fortress.

Everything she needs is within grasp - yet she denies it.

Until she can’t anymore, and all hell breaks loose.

LOVED THIS!

New authors and narrator for me. 😳 THIS! THIS IS WHAT I WANT IN A FF ROMANCE! ❤🤤 It's hot af, sexy, 15 year age gap, sensual, dom/pet and didn't feel like a MF dynamic. This was a lot like my relationship with my ex gf 🥰

Hot and hotter

Not necessarily my first choice in a book but I gave it a chance because I absolutely adore hearing Lu Banks preform. Her voice drew me in and the hot story kept me coming back for more.

If you're looking for some FF romance with spice this is definitely for you!

Great Age - Gap Ice - Queen Story!

This is about Tara and Astrid. Tara is young and looking to help pay for her mom's hospital bills. Astrid is extremely wealthy and lonely. She's and ice queen and there is an age gap with the characters. Both have challenging backstories, and Cynthia/Hildred does a great job showing how one's past can impact their lives.

Hildred Billings/Cynthia Dane is an excellent writer! I love how she intertwines characters from other books.

Lu Banks did a great job of narrating! She hit the correct emotions within the very hot sex scenes!

Highly recommended!

Great Story

It was a fun listen, I feel like the couple needed a little more development together emotionally, but otherwise perfect
