The View from the Top

When a driven businesswoman from Boston collides with a free-spirited artist on a Vermont mountainside, they share a memorable-and steamy-night, but life soon pits them against each other over the fate of a family business.

Emily Janssen prefers to play it safe. At thirty-five, she's still working at the inn her grandmothers own while dreaming of a day when she's able to support herself fully with her art. And while her friends have all hiked to the summit of the mountain in their hometown of Crescent Falls, Vermont, something has always held Emily back.

Diana Devlin has already made it to the top. Well, almost. She's this close to securing the promotion that will put her in line to take over as CEO of her family's hotel chain when her father retires. Everything is going to plan until an unexpected run-in with an alluring artist on a mountainside throws Diana off course, resulting in one of the hottest nights either she or Emily have ever experienced.

Emily walks away from their rendezvous feeling inspired to channel some of Diana's confidence and finally chase her dreams. For Diana, it's a reminder that with the right woman, she is capable of wanting more than one night.

But their growing passion threatens to burn them both when they learn that the hotel Diana's in town to buy is none other than Emily's grandmothers' beloved inn. It's Emily's home, and no big city outsider-not even Diana-is going to take it away from her.

Will the view from the top be worth the climb, or will they both have farther to fall?
