Saved By the Ice Cold Prince's Embrace

Born the illegitimate daughter of a count and his maid, Katrina has never known anything but hardship. Since losing her mother, her life under the same roof as the countess and her daughter has grown steadily crueler, leaving her with neither status nor kindness in the home that should be hers. When the stepsister's disgraceful behavior at a recent party draws down a royal decree, she is ordered to the remote northern frontier, where she is to be schooled in proper etiquette by the prince who governs those frozen lands—a man rumored to be utterly merciless. Unwilling to let her own daughter endure such banishment, the countess quietly sends Katrina in her place. Katrina arrives in the north trembling with dread, bracing herself to face a monster. Yet the infamous prince proves to be nothing like the stories—a far gentler soul than she ever imagined. In this quiet, snowbound countryside, far from her family's contempt, might a pure-hearted young woman like Katrina at last discover the warmth of true love?
