Kristi Farley, a talented young painter, is pleasantly surprised when she's invited to spend a month at Greenbrier, a luxurious estate in Vermont. Celia Gordon, the owner of Greenbrier and a patron of the arts, has issued her invitation so that Kristi can enjoy an atmosphere of beauty and peace as she finishes some canvases for her upcoming art show.
Greenbrier is even more beautiful than Kristi had hoped. Her artwork goes well and her hostess is a good, motherly friend. But all is not peace and quiet. For Kristi finds herself drawn to handsome Grant Hayden, a man she has no right to love. Then she finds a secret enemy at Greenbrier who'll stop at nothing to drive her away. But she simply can't understand why.
