Meeting the Future Mrs. Claus

Nicholas took no time for romance . . . until he met Jane.

As Santa Claus, Nicholas works hard all year long, but especially during the holiday season. He takes little time for outings with friends, and no time for romance.

He sometimes longs for a love of his own, but it stays right there--as just a longing.

Until one holiday season, when he visits an old friend to ask for a favor, and meets a woman he feels an immediate connection with.

To his delight and horror, she seems to feel the same way...

Jane thinks she missed the boat on love.

While helping raise her sisters during her mother's long illness, Jane never accepted invitations from young men to go to dances. Now age thirty, with all the men her age gone away or married off, Jane seems to have missed her opportunity for romance.

With her sisters now grown, and her mother passed on, Jane senses she faces her last winter in her family's home. She plans to move on soon and find work, perhaps as a governess.

She wants to make this Christmas season a really special one for her family, but puts no thought into what she wants for herself as a gift.

Until a handsome stranger named Nicholas--apparently an old friend of her father's--shows up on her front porch.
