Ice by Sarah Beth Durst - this is a retelling of the "East of the Sun, West of the Moon" fairy tale. I LOVE this fairytale, and I read every version of a story I can find based on it. I have to say, this is one of my favorites.
Ice is set in the modern day, in the Arctic. Cassie has just turned 18, and is looking forward to joining her father's research team as an official member. But when she follows a magnificent, if odd, polar bear, out onto the ice, her life changes forever. She discovers the truth about her mother's death (or is she dead?), and the bargain that was made when she was just a small child. Will she uphold it? Can she escape it? Does she even want to?
Cassie is a strong, confident heroine, not afraid to make decisions that will affect her whole future, and the lives of others as well. Her choices aren't always the wisest, but they're always made bravely, with a willingness to face the consequences. Read her adventurous, romantic story, and enjoy!
