The University of Arkansas has a celebrated history that includes not only winning athletic teams, but also academic successes. While most people immediately think of the Razorbacks in association with the University of Arkansas, the state's flagship educational institution has so much more to offer. First established in 1871 in Fayetteville, located in the scenic Ozark Mountains of northwest Arkansas, the first permanent building on campus, Old Main, is also the most iconic with its towers standing like beacons. In 1948, the University of Arkansas became the first Southern university to integrate when WWII veteran Silas Hunt enrolled in law school; like Hunt, the lives and accomplishments of individuals, such as Sen. J. William Fulbright and architect E. Fay Jones, remain intertwined with the university and the world. Students remain the lifeblood of the university though, participating in traditions like homecoming, Senior Walk, and Razorback athletics with fierce pride. The photographs in this collection tell the stories of the first 125 years of the University of Arkansas.

Hopelessly unlucky in love and a target for tragedy, Joselyn Whyte hardly leads the charmed life you'd expect of an heiress. When she becomes the mark of an arsonist, the last person she expects to ride to her rescue is her nemesis-the man who sealed her fate as a frigid and lonely "Snow Whyte." Firefighter Finn Carson might talk a big game, but behind the swagger and the dimples is a man tormented by a mistake that cost a life. When a force stronger than his stubbornness pulls him off the bench and into a 5-Alarm fire for a miraculous save, Finn decides the key to his redemption lies with the Ice Princess he loathes. But the price to freedom from the guilt and nightmares might be too steep if it means bartering with Joselyn's father by posing as her boyfriend-her safety and the ruthless billionaire's Senatorial campaign hanging on the combustible edge of a decade old grudge. When secrets from the past resurface, the ruse and reality collide and threaten to thaw their heated rivalry-turning hate into something that terrifies them even more than the cunning predator with a bent sense of justice.
