Publisher's Synopsis
Coldness is in the eyes of the beholder....Is Jena Parker a cold person? Does something dark curl within her, waiting to spring? It doesn't appear so on the surface. Actually, Jena Parker seems blessed: She is young and beautiful. She has parents who love her and a supportive best friend, Jake Paterson, who always has her back. Even so, there is a creeping sensation she feels inside-something hopeless, something dark. Worse, it seems her neighbor spying on her. One day, Jena catches the strange Mr. McNeil watching her. The man has always made Jena uncomfortable, but now more than ever, she feels something bad might happen. That something bad manifests itself in Jake, when he tells Jena he loves her. But Jena doesn't see Jake that way and is worried he could ruin their friendship forever with his confession. Things take another turn for the worse when Jena's father goes missing. Someone is out to get this eighteen year old, and she knows it. Even her dreams are warning her to beware, but what does Jena have to fear more-predators who mean to harm or her internal monster, poised to attack? Even a nice, normal girl can be pushed over the edge by horrendous circumstance. What is Jena willing to do to get her father back? With no one left to trust, Jena Parker may lose more than a parent; she could possibly lose her mind.
