Daddy Claws (The Twelve Mates Of Christmas #10)

He's single and ready to jingle...

Polar bear shifter Santana 'Santa' Claus did the one thing he knew not to do.
He made a deal with a devil -- Krampus, to be exact.
Now, Santa Claus has to claim his fated mate, or he won't be able to fly his sleigh on Christmas Eve.
Single dad Santana has prioritized his daughter since she was baby, but, he never looked for love -- not after having his heart broken once before. He's focused on being Father Christmas -- to his kid, and to the world.
This werebear's flown around the world delivering presents to children for centuries, but, he's about to take a journey unlike any he's ever taken -- a journey through his past, present, and future.
On the way, will Santana learn to believe in...himself?

The Ghost of Christmas Past...

The woman Santa gets paired with is the one woman he can't forgive -- his ex, who left without saying goodbye.
The man the Italian Christmas witch Befana gets paired with is the one man she can't forgive -- a cheater.
When they meet face to face for the first time in decades, will sparks fly? Or will she fly off on her broomstick one more time?

The Ghost of Christmas Present...

Sometimes, people need second chances.
Sometimes, the third time's the charm -- and Befana, the Christmas witch, knows a thing or two about charms.
That doesn't make her immune to the charms of Santana, who doesn't need a love potion to feel chemistry with Befana.
They both know it's wrong, so why does everything feel as right as candy canes and hot cocoa? Will three Christmas ghosts help Santana see the error of his ways? Or is Santana destined to remained not 'Husband' Claus, but 'Daddy' Claus?

The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come...

How will this werebear reconcile with the woman he loved when she rejected Pandora, the daughter they could've raised, together? Can the past be explained, or merely hidden away? With a little help from his daughter, Daddy Christmas might just get his happily ever after underneath the tree on Christmas Day.

This story, featuring a bad boy werebear and a BBW witch, is loosely based on A Christmas Carol.
