Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Welcome to Kristalldorf…where the wealthy residents have many secrets, and the staff know everything.

Emmeline Eversley is running away from a broken heart when she takes a nannying job in the elite ski town of Kristalldorf - what was she thinking? She doesn't even ski!

Walter Steinherr’s grandfather Ernst was Kristalldorf’s founding father: and now Walter owns the majority of Kristalldorf’s exclusive real estate. But Walter isn’t getting any younger and none of his children – nor his fourth wife – are quite up to taking on the family business…

Tristan du Kok is Kristalldorf’s most infamous playboy. Tall, tanned and exceptionally well-endowed (financially, of course…). He may be currently dating Vivian Steinherr, but now he’s got Emmeline Eversley in his sights…

Before long, Emme is seduced by the glamourous world at the top of the mountain – the drama, the gossip, the rivalry, the glittering parties, the enigmatic Tristan.

But is she really cut out for this life, or is the ride just too wild?

Perfect for fans of RIVALS, BRIDGET JONES and Danielle Steel, Victoria Prince is an exciting new voice in romance!

Critic reviews

A sizzling read for cold nights
Sharp, sexy and so much fun!
A fun, escapist read set in a ridiculously glamorous Alpine ski resort, all about luxury, secrets and steamy romance. Flirtatious, scandal-filled and very moreish: think Jilly Cooper energy on the slopes

I have just finished listening to The Chalet Girl and can honestly say I read (listened) to this faster than any book I’ve had in a long time. The characters are fantastic. It felt a bit like a snowy Dynasty (not everyone is loaded btw!), but with a fresh cast: some deeply relatable, others I am sure everyone has encountered in real life - whether they’re wealthy or not, the traits are instantly familiar. There are the right amount of families and personalities to give a real sense of place and dynamics, without ever becoming confusing.

The pacing is spot on (I love shorter chapters, and this really worked for me) full of intrigue, beautiful surroundings, a touch of scandal, family ties and plenty of sexy-time!! It’s immersive without being heavy and made me smile a lot and even blush on occasion.

I’ve never been skiing I’m far more sea-and-sun girl, but this book made me want to visit, or better still go and work there for a season (although not sure how this would land with my husband and kids!).

I finished it feeling genuinely sad it had ended, but also excited, I instantly started imagining where these characters could go next – creating my own ideas for where that might be. I absolutely want another instalment. It was just a brilliant start to the new year and my book reading agenda for 2026.

I really hope there is a sequel on the cards (please get your ski’s on Victoria Prince and get writing one if not – I’m not sure what I’m going to read in the meantime – maybe I’ll have to dust off a Jilly Cooper just to keep the momentum up! 😉

Loved it!!

Fabulous travel theme with an absolutely stunning backdrop. Didn’t want to stop reading as so engaged in the adventures of the characters.

Set in the opulent ski resort of Kristalldorf, I was whisked away to the slopes, breathing in the crisp, clean mountain air as the scene was perfectly set. With plenty of twists and turns, the author keeps you hooked chapter after chapter with cliff-hangers, as a cast of lovable, self-indulgent and rogue characters share their stories. The narration is excellent, complete with fantastic accents that really bring the setting to life. I enjoyed the friendships, the spicy relationships, and the richness of the overall storytelling.

Loved this spicy snowy escapism with billionaires
