The Books
Veribel is one of the most exclusive and wildest ski resorts in Europe – a winter playground, and the perfect place for an adrenaline-fuelled escape. But what of the seasonaires whose job it is to look after these wealthy and often unruly holidaymakers?!
John, a damaged man running from his trauma, and Chris, a loveable piece of human driftwood, are two ski instructors currently on probation and fighting for their jobs during the busiest season anyone can remember. Despite all the blood and sweat, instructors will always play harder than they work, and their detestable new boss is determined to call time on the party.
Meanwhile, Lucy, an acutely anxious chalet worker, is battling simply just to show up in this intoxicating new world. If she can’t find the courage, everything she’s longed for will sadly pass her by. Their lives, along with the motley crew that live in the clouds, intertwine in every which way. However, past demons have a way of catching up with you, even when you’re sky-high.
Former soldier, Robert Hoy, finds himself recruited into a dangerous, intriguing and often ludicrous world by the shadowy and mysterious, Mr Lawrence Reeves.
Robert embarks on a global adventure, from the high peaks of the French Alps, through the murky depths of the Orient, and on to the distant shores of the Caribbean. To what end? He doesn't know, but as the stakes rise and the money flows, Robert is determined to unmask his puppet master, although in doing so he risks everything - the girl he's fallen for and the life that thrills him. The only way Robert can win all is to finish playing the game.
