Peak to Peak Barbara Oliverio

Having lost her parents as a baby, Romie Costas was raised in an exclusive convent boarding school high above a charming ski village in Colorado and now runs a quirky gift shop in town. Her life is uncomplicated until a global conglomerate who claims the mountain threatens to close down the school and evict the nuns that run it. It's up to Romie to determine a way to protect her childhood home, and she recruits a sophisticated alum who is a high-powered attorney, an elderly British globe-trotting couple, and even her vivacious childhood best friend in her quest. Along the way she meets Crosby McArthur, a charmer with striking jade eyes and a mysterious reason for popping up in the village. Can Romie and her crew send the corporation back down the slopes? And can Crosby avoid the moguls and secure a lifetime pass to Romie's heart? Warmth, wit, and authentic characters blend to make a satisfying tale of sweet romance and laugh-out-loud humor.
