Lips Like Ice
Peggy Barnett
(Author)
Description
He calls himself the Prince. He is humanoid but not human-fascinating, sensual, at the cusp of maturity, and accustomed to getting what he wants. And Lydia has awoken in his world with no memory of her life before to find that she has been given to him: as a pet, a plaything, and, if he so desires, a lover.
As Lydia comes to realize that the Prince is as much a prisoner to his culture's ways as she is, her resentment slowly unfurls into pity, curiosity, and a deeply unpredictable and confusing lust. She wants him too, on her own terms. But in a world fraught with hidden dangers, her terms are not open for discussion, not when their thirst for one another could doom them both.
In a court where monarchs are obeyed and sexual hierarchies are strict, one wrong move could end the Prince for ever... and what would happen to Lydia then?

About the Author
Reviews
"I loved this book... !!! Right from the blurb till the last line..." -- Zaira, GoodReads Review
"This is such an interesting read. It explores concepts like consent, bodily autonomy, self-identity, sexual discovery, life, death and grief all wrapped in a sort of alien/ portal fantasy romance." --Andrea, GoodReads Review
"Well now, this certainly wasn't the book that I was expecting. When Peggy Barnett pitched it to me, I thought it would just be a fun bit of erotic gender-bending fluff. Of course, knowing Peggy, and knowing what else she writes, I really should have expected more. Yes, there is a lot of eroticism here, and it definitely breaks the gender binary, but none of it is fluff. In fact, Lips Like Ice is a very deep, very thoughtful story that goes to some very dark places, both physically and psychologically." -- Sally Bend, Bending the Bookshelf
