The Hollins Christmas Affair

**WANTED: One Plus-One for the Party of the Century. Inhibitions optional.**When Sindy Bakewell agrees to accompany the terrifyingly glamorous sausage heiress Dee Buxworthy to her family's Highland estate, she knows the party is notorious for scandal. But knowing it and surviving it are two different things.She packs sensible jumpers and flannel pyjamas.She should have packed stamina and a riding crop, because she's walked into a high-society fever dream directed by a maniac.Welcome to The Hollins Christmas Festival, a four-day endurance sport of excess, luxury, and debauchery. It is a gothic playground where the butler knows everything, the Christmas pudding is not as it appears, and the "games" involve hunting bunny-eared guests through a maze.The Players: - Sindy: A matchmaker out of her depth, but looking dangerous in gold lamé.- Dee: The Sausage Heiress with a couture wardrobe and a very old score to settle.- Richard: The Earl. The Wolf. The dark fantasy Sindy is terrified she might give in to.- Nick: The Tree Surgeon. The Sanctuary. The man who might just steal her heart while the Earl isn't looking.- The Wildcards: A butler who sees all, a boss who takes no prisoners, and an office junior armed with a vape and a lethal side-eye.From the frozen lake to the steam of the sauna, from the grand ballroom to the intimacy of a secret library feast, this is a holiday romance that refuses to be sensible.Grab a glass of champagne (watch out for the Absinthe) and join the party. It's going to get steamy...
