Scandal at the Lakeside Chalet : Escape to the breathtaking Alps with this engaging and romantic story

by Anna Camilla Kupka

An engaging and uplifting novel about friendship, fresh starts, and the courage to stay true to yourself.

It’s peak season at Lake Tegernsee, and Lucy should be celebrating—her chalet is finally welcoming its first official guests! But Alex arranged the booking without telling her, and the guests turn out to be... politicians. From posh Düsseldorf. Not exactly the zen crowd she’d imagined for her peaceful yoga retreat.

As Lucy spirals into worst-case scenarios, her friends try to calm her down—unaware that she might be far more right than they think. When the police show up and the press follows, Lucy realises her paranoia wasn’t so paranoid after all.

Now she’s scrambling to save her business—and what’s left of her sanity—all while the whole country watches.

Enjoy Book 3 of this heartwarming and uplifting series set by the sparkling shores of Lake Tegernsee.
