Snowed in for the holidays-
It-s three days before Christmas and just starting to snow- Against her better judgement, Libby Pugh has been persuaded by her best friend to stop in on their university reunion on her way back from a wedding in North Yorkshire with her boyfriend, Max.
The host is Archie Templeton, the playboy of their group, who has finally inherited his father-s title and estate - even if the latter is more stately heap than palace. Libby is surprised at how good it feels to catch up with old friends. The night is a great success but when they come to leave, the road is now impassable and she and Max are given a bed for the night.
At first being snowed in with old friends is rather lovely - they spend the next day in high spirits as they wait for the local farmer to clear the snow. But as the hours pass and he doesn-t come, everyone grows restless. Christmas is two days away and everyone has plans, other places to be. Then the power goes out
