From #1 Amazon bestselling author Susie Tate comes the perfect opposites attract romance – Vicky feels like she'll never fit in, but could Mike be the person to show her exactly where she belongs? Bonus content is included in this exclusive paperback edition!

Victoria Harding has always felt like an outsider. In her family, in society, even in the business world, she’s the one who doesn’t quite fit. Despite her polished appearance, people find her aloof and cold—and for the longest time, she’s accepted the loneliness that comes with it.

That is, until she sees him…

Mike Mayweather is everything she’s not: rough, rugged, and unapologetically unrefined. He has no patience for the woman they call the “Ice Princess”, and her obvious attraction to him only frustrates him more.

But there’s more to Vicky than he ever expected—layers of vulnerability, fears she’s hidden, and a softness that makes his heart stir.

When a confrontation leaves her shaken, Mike realises he’s not as unaffected by her as he thought.

For the first time ever, he’s determined to uncover the woman beneath the carefully constructed exterior—the one who might just change his life forever…

About the Author

Susie Tate is a #1 Amazon bestselling author of addictive, feel-good contemporary romance. She can be counted on to deliver uplifting but also heart-wrenching stories that make her readers laugh and cry in equal measure. Her charismatic but flawed heroes have to work hard to earn their heroine’s forgiveness but always manage to redeem themselves in the end.
 
The real and raw themes that underpin Susie’s books are often inspired by her experiences working as a doctor in the NHS for the last twenty years. Susie worked in a range of hospital specialities before becoming a GP, during which time she looked after a women’s refuge for victims of domestic violence as well as being child safeguarding lead for her practice. Susie’s medical career gives her a unique insight and understanding of the social, psychological and physical issues some of her characters face, lending authenticity to her writing.
