When the line between fairy tales and magic, and the real world become blurred, can love really conquer anything?
Leo Marsh is having a bad day. He just caught his boyfriend cheating on him, and not for the first time, then he falls, quite literally, for a man who has to be too good to be true….
When Leo slips and falls on some ice in front of Jack, Jack sees something all too familiar in Leo’s eyes. For over fifty years, Jack has existed in a solitary life of ice and bitterness. Just like Leo, he was betrayed by a man he loved, and swore no one would ever break his heart again: he gave up on love, and it seemed love had given up on him.
But if by fate or magic, Jack and Leo find their paths crossing for a second time, and with a little guidance from friends, dare to take a chance on each other. The problem is, Jack isn’t the charming and uncomplicated guy Leo thinks he is. When Jack gave away his ability to love, he became something else, someone cold and unloving. He became Jack Frost.
As Jack and Leo get closer, Jack is left torn and confused. Jack yearns for anything that reminds him of his humanity, but the truth is, he feels nothing, not warmth, not love, and he knows he might never be able to love Leo the way he deserves to be loved.

Cramming his hands in his jacket pockets, Jack looked at the ground, and with the toe of his boot, he drew a circle in the snow. Adding eyes and a smile, Jack admired his masterpiece for a moment. It wasn’t quite right. He crouched and held his hand over the simple drawing. Slowly, he pulled back his hand. The soft flakes quivered. He teased the snow, rearranging the picture, then straightened up. The image’s smile was gone, replaced with a frown.
“Hello, Jack,” he said to the drawn face.
With a heavy sigh, he dragged his foot across the image, wiping the sidewalk clear. If only it was that easy to wipe away the morose feeling from inside him.
He rubbed a hand over his face and took a deep breath. There was a smile on his lips as he looked ahead at the elderly gentleman making his way toward him.
“Too cruel?” he asked himself.
Maybe. Jack smiled. Or maybe not. He wiggled his fingers and felt the cold air surge between them. This was who he was—the bringer of mishaps, ice, and mischief, and of the frost on the window panes.
He was Jack Frost.

I love fall the best, followed by winter 🙂
I love the spring with all the flowers blooming followed by fall.
My favorite season is fall. I love to watch the leaves change colors.
I love fall because of the crisp air and changing colors!
I like autumn, can still get nice days, sun is still warm, get a nice sunny windy day for a coastal walk, great!
I love the spring, especially in Wisconsin. It’s not too hot or cold and it’s such a relief to see things come alive after the long Winter!!
Each season is different and each has something about it that I love. The cold of winter, which makes you snuggle up at home with loved ones. The renewal of spring, when everything is fresh and green. The lazy hot days of summer, drinking lemonade and trying to stay cool. The colors of fall, the first bite of chill in the air.
I like fall, because of the changing colors and the return of hockey season!
I look forward to the end of winter and the start of the warmer weather. I love the spring! It’s my favourite season, always makes me feel more optimistic.
I love spring when everything is starting to bloom.
