BLURB

Everyone knows the North Pole runs on Christmas magic, but behind the twinkling lights and cheerful carols, it's really run on spreadsheets, logistics, and pure, stubborn grit. Robin Claus knows that better than anyone. As the reluctant heir to the big man's empire, his world is a blur of endless meetings, toy quotas, and reindeer flight paths. The only flicker of color in his monochrome, stressed-out season is her—the elf who’s been his friend since forever and the one secret wish he’s never been brave enough to ask for.

This close to the big night, there’s no time for feelings. There’s only the work. But when a wobbly ladder and a misplaced sprig of mistletoe send her tumbling right into his arms, his carefully managed control shatters. He’s spent years building walls between them, but catching her feels like coming home. Now, with the clock ticking down and the entire world’s happiness on the line, the grumpy future Santa must decide if he’s bold enough to claim the one gift he truly wants for himself—before the season slips away forever.
