Quote:Vicky is an outlier. An outlier in society, an outlier in the business world; she's even an outlier in her own family. She knows that people find her weird and annoying, and she's resigned to her loneliness until she sees him. Having never been attracted to any man before, her new obsession with burly, rough and ready Mike and the fact she can't breathe when he's close comes as a shock.

Unfortunately, Vicky's cold beauty doesn't appeal to Mike. The woman they call the Ice Princess is the opposite of his type, and her obvious crush irritates him. How many times does he have to make it clear he's not interested before she gets the message?

But there are things about Vicky Mike doesn't know. Reasons she behaves the way she does. Loneliness, vulnerability and kindness, that she keeps hidden. And information her family should have shared with him. So when the fireworks start, and she screams, he acts on instinct, pulling her body into his. And when she buries into his chest, shaking in fear, for some reason he's not so annoyed by her anymore.

This is a full-length, enemies-to-lovers romance with a neurodiverse heroine and a grumpy but protective hero.
