      Dear Reader,

      There’s something so nice about writing a story about a heroine and her boss. I was lucky to be asked to take part in the Maids Under the Mistletoe series and given a suitably gruff Scottish hero that only my beautiful heroine could win around.

      When I found out my story line included the fact my heroine got to decorate the hotel—and then the castle—for Christmas, I was in my element. It was almost as if the editors knew about my Harrods and Fortnum & Mason ritual every Christmas of buying a new Christmas ornament...

      I also added in a few elements of my own. My elderly Alice Archer with her zest for life and her pristine 1940s’ wardrobe was a joy to write.

      And as much as I love Christmas, it was useful to reflect on those who find Christmastime tough because of personal circumstances. Because I can’t give every one of you who feels like that a big hug, I just wish you all find a little comfort in this story.

      Wishing you all a special Christmas,

      Scarlet Wilson

       CHAPTER ONE

      GRACE BRUSHED THE snow from her shoulders as she ducked in the back door of the exclusive Armstrong hotel in Chelsea, London. It was just after six in the morning, the streets were still dark and she could see her footprints in the snow outside.

      Frank, the senior concierge, came in behind her. A wide grin lit up his face as he saw her looking at the snow outside. ‘Finally,’ he muttered as he shook the snow from his coat and started to sing the words to It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas. The words of the song floated from his lips. He gave her a nudge. ‘You’re too young to remember this one.’

      She raised her eyebrows. ‘Frank, you should know, I know every version of every Christmas song that’s ever existed.’

      They walked into the changing room. ‘What version do you want to go for? Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, or Michael Buble?’ She started singing alongside him as she wound her long brown hair up into a loose bun and tied on her white chambermaid’s apron over her black shirt and skirt.

      Christmas was her absolute favourite time of year. It brought back great memories of the Christmases she’d spent with her grandmother in the little flat they’d shared in one of the poorer parts of London. But what they didn’t have in wealth, they’d certainly made up for in love. This would be her
