Who says Santa can’t have a Christmas wish of his own? Santa’s love life is a mess – and he has one last chance to get it right. A girl asks Santa for a man for Christmas. When prompted, he admit’s that he has a Christmas wish of his own – a baby.
Coincidence? Not a chance! Audra doesn’t know she has a history with this particular Santa of the Sleigh. His name is Ross Shepard and Santa is his job title. Their association comes from way back, from a time when mists and snow covered most of the world. Winter, when the snow was deeper and food scarce, was a miserable time of the year for everyone. In a snowy valley, Ross and his brother devised a magickal contraption they called a sleigh. Santa’s job was to deliver a little Yuletide cheer to everyone on the night before the Yule log cracks. But before Ross could take the job as Santa, he had to find the right woman to support his new venture and share eternity with him. That year, before the maiden voyage in the sleigh and before the Yule log cracked, Ross’ wife had to be in the family way. Audra agreed to marry him and to become part of the Santa project, but she absolutely refused to become immortal. She was put in charge of the exact form the cheer would take. In the midst of the excitement to get the Project Santa off the snow, Audra and Ross knew they were having a baby. Tragedy struck when Audra died in childbirth, her baby with her. Ross searched for her through the ages, always with the same result – they fell in love, married, and then Audra died giving birth. Now, in the present, Ross has one last chance to convince Audra to be with him forever, immune to death.
