Sentimental discoveries and badly-kept secrets. Is it the perfect Christmas at the Haven Hotel? It's the first Christmas at the Haven Hotel since Rick inherited it from his aunt, and he's spent all year getting things back on track. When he and Eliot find a box of Auntie's mementoes in the basement, highlighting a very unconventional theatrical career, he decides to hold a party to honour her. But there are way too many obstacles preventing him getting his friends together in one place, this close to Christmas. Or so everyone keeps telling him. Rick loves his partner Eliot, and is very fond of his friends. But a man's patience can only stretch so far. The day of Auntie's birthday turns out to be a very confusing and distracting time for him-and everyone except him seems to be in on it. From covert meetings, to secret recipes, to mysteriously vanishing decorations, and even through a very hot but surprising seduction, Rick is led astray until the day is almost over. And then his friends show another side of their meddling. Auntie Pop had love and respect from many of the escorts at the Haven, and it looks like her day will be fondly remembered after all. And Rick and Eliot may have the chance at last to make their own special commitment-that's if Rick ever forgives all the subterfuge!
