Last Lift

Dedicated to my coworkers at Brandywine Ski Resort

From the chaotic slopes of a Colorado ski resort to the bright lights of Midwestern comedy, true love has a strange way of coming full circle.

Brian Andrews is looking for a fresh start. Fresh out of rehab, overweight, and carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, he takes a job in the kitchen of the rustic Ole Brandy Ski Resort in Farmwald, Colorado. He expects long hours and cold mountain nights. He doesn't expect Karen Hausman.

Karen is ambitious, striking, and determined to dance her way to the top at any cost. From the moment Brian nearly runs her down on an icy mountain road, an unmistakable spark ignites between them. But the path to happiness is anything but smooth. Entangled in a web of complicated relationships, toxic temptations, heartbreak, and unfulfilled dreams, Brian and Karen find themselves pulled apart by fate-and their own bad choices.

Spanning two decades, Last Lift is a gripping story of second chances, forgiveness, and the stubborn endurance of real love. From the high-stakes world of comedy clubs to the deep-seated secrets of the past, Brian and Karen build a life together, believing the drama is finally behind them.

Until twenty years later, when their past comes knocking on the front door in the most unexpected way possible.
