Accepting a job at an exclusive mountain resort should be fun... until a guest dies after taking your spin class! Fitness trainer Paisley Summerhill finds herself in hot water. If her class really caused the guest's death, she'll never get another job at a posh resort. Luckily, she's good at puzzles... and when she learns the deceased had a string of lovers, using the resort to meet them behind his wife's back, she taps into resort gossip and finds several worthy suspects.

However, Ellie's rooting for Paisley and Dolan's to get back together, while flirting with the resort's sexy Chef Armand, a potential suspect. - A Boss twist: Paisley's new boss is known as Loggerhead Lange and she's not happy with anyone that upsets her guests. - A Killer twist: an accident almost ends all of Paisley's problems permanently.
