IT BEGAN IN DESIRE Of all The Stanley Hotel's legends, none was more tragic than that of the whirlwind courtship and brief marriage of a famed Irish singer and a dashing race-car driver. History professor Kate Norris had always been fascinated by the fabled life and mysterious death of Caitlin McDonald. Each year, Kate played Caitlin at The Stanley's annual musicale—a performance said to be eerily reminiscent of the singer. But as Kate prepared for the festivities, donning a lace-and-linen dress and an antique topaz ring, the veil separating past and present trembled before her eyes and dropped away... . Did Kate imagine it all? Or did the past beckon to her, promising the key to the love that would always be her destiny? ROCKY MOUNTAIN MAGIC—All it takes is an open heart.
