White Magic

Here is a classic romance on skis amid the snow and mountains and the brilliant frosty nights of Sun Valley, where people are drawn into close -- and dangerous -- relationships. There were Garda Allen, surrounded by bodyguards, with no vanity but plenty of pride; Larry Martin, who had the modern Midas touch; Ellen Mitchell, who was real, and delightfully unsophisticated; and Franz, who could do many things but chose to do none of them. The heiress, the self-made man, the secretary, and the European nobleman come to know each other, and out of that acquaintance rises a conflict which reaches its climax in a blizzard far from the luxury of Sun Valley.
