Grumpy Santa Josette Reuel

The first in a collection of Holiday Romance stories, 'Grumpy Santa' is a Paranormal romance that includes shifters, fae, and, of course, Santa's elves. Felix Avida always seemed to ruin everything because of his grumpy personality. Between his anger issues and his dislike of people, he'd moved more times than he could count. But he was hoping that this time, in Alaska, would be his last. However, even locating his den far outside of the nearest town in seclusion didn't keep him from exploding on hunters who thought to hunt on his land. No one hunted his animal friends - even a loner of a polar bear shifter needed someone once in a while. Natalia Bell felt as if she were fighting a losing battle with the world's Christmas spirit. Each year she struggled to power up during the winter solstice. It was to the point that she struggled to keep her tiny winter fae form. So, in desperation, she cast a tracking spell that led her to a shopping center in the middle of nowhere Alaska. She didn't expect to find a weird collection of paranormals or the mate she'd been searching centuries for. Between the grumpy mall Santa, the real Santa's elves, and a trouble-making fairy godmother-in-training, Natalia isn't sure she'll make it past Christmas sane... let alone being able to claim her destined mate. Will Felix catch the Christmas spirit in time to save Christmas and fall for Natalia?
