Butterfly in Frost

by Sylvia Day

Overview

A Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post, and Amazon Charts bestseller.

From #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Sylvia Day comes a hotly anticipated and passionate new love story.

Once, I would never have imagined myself here. But I’m settled now. In a place I love, in a home I renovated, spending time with new friends I adore, and working a job that fulfills me. I am reconciling the past and laying the groundwork for the future.

Then Garrett Frost moves in next door.

He’s obstinate and too bold, a raging force of nature that disrupts the careful order of my life. I recognize the ghosts that haunt him, the torment driving him. Garrett would be risky in any form, but wounded, he’s far more dangerous. I fear I’m too fragile for the storm raging inside him, too delicate to withstand the pain that buffets him. But he’s too determined…and too tempting.

And sometimes hope soars above even the iciest desolation.

Emotional and heartrending, Butterfly in Frost marks a brilliant return by global sensation Sylvia Day, the #1 international multimillion bestselling author of the Crossfire saga.

Editorial Reviews

Day (the Crossfire Saga) flubs this disturbing short contemporary with a “gotcha” twist. Teagan is a doctor who just wants to be left alone; trauma has left her feeling “fragile” and “delicate.” But her new neighbor, Garrett, bullies his way into her life. Garrett offers Teagan’s neighbors a large sum of money for the house they weren’t planning to sell, invites himself into Teagan’s home, and kisses her forcefully with no warning. As he insinuates himself with her friends and brushes off her attempts to establish boundaries, readers will see red flags and danger signs everywhere. The narration is deeply intimate without ever hinting at what lies behind Garrett’s behavior, so the twist ending that’s meant to explain away and justify his aggression only leaves the reader feeling baffled and lied to. Fans of extreme alpha males and dubious consent might find this satisfying; everyone else should pass. Agent: Kimberly Whalen, The Whalen Agency. (Sept.)

From the Publisher

06/14/2019

Far from the hubbub of New York City in a suburb of Seattle, Dr. Teagan Ransom lives a quiet life, continuing her work on Eva Cross's new skin-care line. The former cosmetic surgeon and reality TV doctor is hiding herself away with a few close friends and online shopping as she heals from a past trauma. Disruption to Teagan's careful world comes in the form of the brooding and bereaved Garret Frost, who falls for her healing nature and strength. Their instant chemistry and undeniable connection is brought to a head when their pasts converge to remind the couple that a second opportunity at love is worth everything. VERDICT Fans of Day's "Crossfire" series will relish this subtle and emotional companion piece and its unflinching look at depression and loss. However, the novella's abrupt twist of an ending and point-of-view shift feels a little out of left field and might leave some readers wishing that this story could have been fleshed out more in a full-length novel.—Jenna Harmison, Champaign Cty.
