Taken by cold
Some hearts freeze to protect themselves. Others, to forget what warmth once felt like.
Odette Throne never needed anyone. Or so she told herself.
Quiet, composed, and emotionally detached, Odette leaves everything familiar behind—her city, her routines, and every tie she never truly valued—for a fresh start at a university abroad. She isn’t here to make friends. She isn’t here to belong. She’s here to be alone—intentionally, perfectly, peacefully alone.
But then she meets him.
Frost Ashford—sharp-tongued, unreadable, and just as cold as the snow-covered streets that surround them.
From the moment they cross paths, a silent rivalry begins—icy stares, indifferent conversations, and a magnetic tension that neither of them fully understands nor wants to admit. As their paths continue to tangle, Odette is forced to confront a truth she’s long buried: it’s not isolation she needs—it’s connection, the kind that doesn’t demand too much or dig too deep.
But Frost has his own reasons for staying frozen. And sometimes, love doesn’t melt cold hearts—it shatters them.
Taken by the Cold is a slow-burning, emotional rom-com about two guarded souls learning that even the coldest winters can feel like home—when you stop pretending you don’t need warmth.
