Four and a half weeks before Christmas, she finds herself transferred to the Green Mountain Resort in Stowe, Vermont to replace the personal assistant to the manager, Robert Thomas.

After an unforgettable weekend skiing at Mount Mansfield, Amanda returns to New York. But the memory of her time with Robert in Stowe haunts her constantly. Was she confused and mistaken about Robert's feelings for her? And was it Alicia that Robert Thomas loved all along?
