One mountain, two sisters. For one, the weight of a family legacy; for the other, a place to lick her wounds and the hope of musical inspiration. For both, the site of tragedy, the frustration of longstanding family resentments, and the possibility of romance.
Welcome to The Lakeview Suite.
Stella McAdam might be able to save the beloved family ski resort, Lakeview. She just needs to convince the freeride association to let her host a competition, secure the financing for her new mountain village, and persuade the filmmaker she just met to shoot his next feature at her resort. Things get tricky for Stella as she grows closer to the director, faces her deep-seated fears of relationships, and struggles as the demands of his film mean she must relive the day she barely escaped an avalanche that took the life of a good friend.
Stella's sister, Candice, returns to Lakeview, teetering between an imploding music career and an incredible opportunity. If she can craft a visionary piece of music for an old friend's wedding, she might be asked to launch a brand-new institute for New Music backed by some of the most famous donors in the arts. Two things distract her from her tunnel vision: the interest of a certain local musician and the constant presence of her adult sons. Music has always come first for Candice; not many women abandon their young children for their careers, but Candice did. Now, she'll somehow have to atone for the fact that she's barely seen her adult sons since their infancy.
Not to mention the fact that the two sisters will have to survive their first winter together in decades.
