Gavin Frost is Santa's sleigh maker. He's as happy as a man can be while living with regret. He wishes he could take back events of seven years ago; the ones that caused his fiancé to storm out of his life on Christmas Eve.
Prudence Berry was engaged to Gavin. Her obsession with climbing to the top of her union (Elves' Local #101) wasn’t as much to blame for their breakup as Gavin's philandering.
When the two of them are forced to work together on Christmas Eve, they discover that the spirit of the holiday doesn't just work on children. There's magic afoot! Gavin and Pru are about to discover the real meaning of the season...in each other's arms.
Excerpt
Gavin pulled in the team at the edge of town, and the deer lightly touched down on a stretch of sparkling, unmarked snow. The sleigh slid easily up to an old-fashioned log cabin where the lights were on but turned very low.
Pru turned in her seat, discarded the throw rug, and reached for a purple bag filled with gifts. "Follow me, stay quiet, and do as I say."
He sat for a moment as she exited the sleigh.
When he didn't immediately do as she ordered, she turned when she got to the cabin door. "Are you waiting for an invitation?"
He held up his hands in resignation, followed her to the door, and waited for instructions.
"When we go in, stay as quiet as a man of your size can. If anything happens...I'll handle it."
"What can happen?" he blithely asked.
"Lots of things, Gavin! If you'd read the union book you'd know what I'm talking about. Since you decided you didn't need to study it...you'll just have to follow my lead, won't you?"
He pinched the bridge of his nose between his thumb and index finger. "Somebody shoot me."
"That can be arranged," she sweetly offered. "Now...follow me."
