The Daughter Claus
It’s not all tinsel and candy canes for Santa’s daughter!
Grumpy, workaholic Santa always favored Tina’s younger brother, grooming him from birth to fill his boots when he retires. There’s just one problem – Nicholas, Jr. hates Christmas. He even writes anti-Christmas songs for his rock band, Black Ice. When their father winds up in the hospital, it falls to Tina to leave college in sunny Florida and temporarily return home to the frozen North Pole to run the family business. Not only does she have to put her classes on hold, she has to leave a new romance with her brother’s bandmate.
It isn’t easy dealing with rowdy reindeer who enjoy karaoke, the ex-boyfriend who broke her heart, her best friend’s flirtation with an elf, a long-distance relationship, and resistance from her father! Yet there’s a bigger problem – Tina likes it. She excels at running the family business. But who will deliver the presents on Christmas Eve? Santa is supposed to be a man, right? Should Tina go back to college and her new love or fight to be the next Santa?
Christmas magic, girl power, and a dash of romance make this a fun story any time of year!
