Known as the Grande Dame of the Rockies, The Stanley Hotel had its share of legends. But when a mysterious stranger gave front-desk manager Hayley Austin a golden apple, she didn't know she was about to make hotel history. The apple was famous—as Hayley soon discovered when a horde of apple hunters descended on The Stanley. Hayley was caught up in the fever, which is why she told no one about her newest possession. Not even Mason Wilder. With his steely blue eyes, Mason was the man Hayley had dreamed of, the man her heart wished for. Was it sheer coincidence? Or was the apple truly magic? ROCKY MOUNTAIN MAGIC—All it takes is an open heart.

There was a dead man in a pond. Nicki "saw" it over and over, both when she was awake and asleep. But she didn't know who it was, where the pond was or even if it was real or just a nightmare. The mud on her shoes and her clothes made her wonder if she had actually been there and had repressed the memory. Finally, not knowing if she is guilty or innocent, crazy or sane, she confided her fears to detective Jake Kelly. Jake wanted to believe she was innocent, but his investigations proved that everything she had "seen" had been completely accurate. She had the most to gain and the most to lose. They both needed to know the truth...but truth brought danger. The mists and fogs of the Rockies, the shifting play of light and shadow ... the imagination could easily conjure apparitions from the enchanted air that swirled around The Stanley Hotel. Rocky Mountain Magic . . . all it takes is an open heart.

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.
