A dark romance in a frozen wilderness

B. B. Reid recasts Goldilocks through the story of Aurelia George, a celebrity whose public image has eclipsed her sense of self. Sent away from the spotlight, she is stranded in Northern Canada after a plane crash and reaches an isolated cabin occupied by three mountain men. The wilderness hazards—among them wolves, avalanches, and a harsh winter—frame a dark-romance setup built around isolation, obsession, and Aurelia’s struggle to reclaim her identity. The description also signals an adult-focused retelling, with the cabin encounter and the men’s fixation central to its romantic tension.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in dark romance with a Goldilocks-inspired premise.
  • Readers drawn to celebrity stories centered on identity and life beyond public adoration.
  • Readers who enjoy romance set amid wilderness isolation and survival hazards.

Book overview

From bestselling author B.B. Reid comes a wicked retelling of Goldilocks with a twist.

America's sweetheart has been canceled.

From teen star to international phenom to the biggest celebrity in the world, Aurelia George has suddenly found herself on the other side of adoration. The public thinks they hate her when they never really knew her. The saddest tragedy of all is that she doesn't know herself.

Done with the fame, glitz, and glam--the whole doe-eyed princess charade--Aurelia decides she's taking back her life, even if it costs her everything.

But her uncle has other plans.

Shipped far away until the heat dies, Aurelia finds herself in the one place where her name means nothing. When a blizzard causes her plane to crash, she becomes stranded in the wilds of Northern Canada, a sole survivor with no one to turn to.

No one except them.

The misanthropic mountain men who've shut themselves away.

It's their cabin Aurelia finds in the icy wilderness and their obsession she ignites when they discover her sleeping in one of their beds. Thorin, Khalil, and Ezekiel (and all of his personalities) have only longed for one thing in nine long years...a woman to warm their beds.

Surviving a plane crash, wolves, avalanches, frozen lakes, and a harsh winter with three feral men is nothing compared to Aurelia's hardest trial of all--finding herself.
