This is a charming sweet romance with
a Seasonal Christmas feel to it in every sense of the word, seasonal, in which
the heroine Holly Gray, and hero Will Berry, share in the delights and preparations
for the decorating of a castle and near by church. The snow-laden landscape adds to the thrill and
chill as guests engage with gathering all manner of greenery and thereby establish friendships. Thus, amidst glittering candelabras and sumptuous fare laid to dining tables, surreptitious
glances are exchanged. As with most house parties; tales of old are spun and
ghost stories imparted, but does a ghost really exist within the castle or did
Holly imagine a close encounter? If she did, she ponders whether any one of the
guests – even those
who display interest in her innocent charms –can
ever match the man of an ethereal moment in time. If it was one of the guests
who dared in a moonlit conservatory: which one? Perhaps a mistletoe ball will
satisfy her curiosity or leave her with a wondrous mystery. And of course, her mama is a dreadful social climber, so only the best suitor will do!
