Summary: Buffy Summers waitresses at a little diner in a town she doesn't bother to remember the name of half the time, and one cold, winter evening she meets a man named Spike. Asides from extremely attractive, with eyes of ice blue, a leather coat, and lips that could make an angel blush, he just happens to be a vampire, too. Of course, that last bit is unimportant, really. What matters is the way these two fall into a torrid romance outlined by bed sheets and kisses hot enough to thaw the ice surrounding them. Except, what happens when love blooms in the heart of winter, and what was supposed to be nothing more than a fling to forget the world, manages to consume them both from the inside out?

**Author Note: This fic is going to be about 20,000 words.**

Believe me, if I owned any of the Buffyverse characters I'm sure I'd be rich. Which I'm so totally not, so don't sue me. I'm not making a profit from this story, it is written for pure enjoyment.
