   Summary

   Charles meets the bored and infuriatingly haughty son of Baronet Payne while working at Ashton Palace Hotel during the winter holidays. Edwin is looking for a distraction, which Charles, drawn towards his prickly attitude and good looks, is happy to provide.

   Charles could just be enjoying a heated Christmas fling, if only the hotel wasn't haunted...
