A ruined career. A haunted mountain hotel. And the one man who knows all its secrets.
Adrian Payne is a man of many lists and zero plans. After whistleblowing on his employer torched his career and his sanity, he did the only logical he bought a crumbling, historic hotel in the heart of the snow-capped mountains. The Evergrand was supposed to be a fresh start. A place to hide from the world while he fixed some pipes and painted a few walls.
But the Evergrand isn’t just a hotel. It’s a building that hums with life, echoes with phantom music, and seems to be waiting for something.
Rowan Perdido is the Evergrand’s caretaker, and its most guarded secret. Stoic, barefoot, and as unyielding as the stone façade he maintains, Rowan doesn’t have room for a frantic city boy with too many feelings and a playlist for every mood.
As Christmas Eve approaches, the boundary between past and present begins to thin. Forced together by the hotel’s waking magic, Adrian and Rowan discover a heat that burns hotter than the boiler room.
But the Evergrand is preparing to recreate its most infamous night, and if Adrian and Rowan can’t find a way to anchor each other to the present, they might both become part of the hotel's haunted history.
Midnight at the Evergrandis a steamy, cozy MM holiday romance featuring a grumpy caretaker, a sunshine-but-anxious owner, forced proximity, and a touch of seasonal magic.
