The Lakes is everything a luxury hotel should be. Surrounded by glorious lakes and mountains, it is the kind of hotel that everyone, rich or poor, young or old, aspires to visit.

Mary never dreamed of staying at The Lakes--that is, until she falls in love with Gerald Styles, a local businessman. Attracted by the shy librarian's gentleness, he extends an invitation to join him on holiday at the resort. Mary finds it difficult to resist the allure of that lavish lifestyle, and breaks away from her querulous, invalid mother in search of her fantasy.

The Lakes is just as she'd imagined it. But Gerald, away from home, turns out to be a very different man from the person Mary thought she had known. Nevertheless, The Lakes has many other guests and many other surprises in store. For Mary, her longed-for holiday marks the beginning of a chain of events that will change her life in every way.
