Claus Encounters Series by Remy Fable

Naughty never looked so nice. Noel Frost has been managing Santa's Naughty List for two centuries, and he's very good at his job. Meticulous. Organized. Utterly committed to the rules. But there's one human who keeps appearing on his list every single year—Ezra Vince, a street artist whose "creative vandalism" arrest record is really just gorgeous murals bringing color to forgotten neighborhoods. This year, Noel goes undercover to investigate in person... moreNaughty never looked so nice. Noel Frost has been managing Santa's Naughty List for two centuries, and he's very good at his job. Meticulous. Organized. Utterly committed to the rules. But there's one human who keeps appearing on his list every single year—Ezra Vince, a street artist whose "creative vandalism" arrest record is really just gorgeous murals bringing color to forgotten neighborhoods. This year, Noel goes undercover to investigate in person. Just to verify Ezra truly deserves coal, of course. It has nothing to do with the fact that Noel's been studying Ezra's file (and photos) for years. Nothing at all. Going undercover as a human in the city, Noel intends to catch Ezra in the act. Instead, he discovers a man who feeds stray cats, teaches kids art for free, and creates beauty in places that desperately need it. As Noel gets pulled into Ezra's world of midnight painting sessions and terrible diner pancakes, he starts questioning everything he thought he knew about naughty and nice. And realizes he might be falling for his favorite repeat offender. A heartwarming clean MM Christmas romance featuring a workaholic elf learning to loosen up, a rebel artist with a heart of gold, couples ice skating, midnight mural painting, and the kind of love that makes you question your entire filing system. less

This Christmas, the real magic isn't at the North Pole—it's in a suburban safe house. Ever Hollybrook loves his job developing toys at the North Pole. What he doesn't love? Witnessing industrial espionage and being hunted by corporate criminals. Now he's stuck in witness protection with Marshal Robert Wade, who's skeptical about magic, allergic to joy, and devastatingly attractive when he reluctantly smiles... moreThis Christmas, the real magic isn't at the North Pole—it's in a suburban safe house. Ever Hollybrook loves his job developing toys at the North Pole. What he doesn't love? Witnessing industrial espionage and being hunted by corporate criminals. Now he's stuck in witness protection with Marshal Robert Wade, who's skeptical about magic, allergic to joy, and devastatingly attractive when he reluctantly smiles. Robert has protected witnesses before, but never one who genuinely believes in Santa Claus. Because he works for Santa Claus. Which is ridiculous. Except Ever keeps doing impossible things, and Robert is running out of logical explanations. Three weeks in a safe house. One relentlessly optimistic elf who can't blend in to save his life. One grumpy marshal who's forgetting all his rules about keeping his distance. And a miniature reindeer with strong opinions about their relationship. This Christmas, believing in magic is the easy part. Believing in happily ever after? That might take a miracle. A clean, laugh-out-loud MM Christmas romance featuring Christmas magic, witness protection shenanigans, a judgmental reindeer, and a grumpy marshal learning that some rules are meant to be broken. less

Six years of feuding. One week of forced proximity. A whole lot of pining. Some feuds are worth fighting for. Jax Frasier bought the disaster Christmas tree farm next to Pine’s Premium Christmas Trees for one reason--to annoy Everett Pine until he finally paid attention to him. It worked. They’ve been at war for years. Everett hates Jax's chaotic farming methods; Jax hates his refusal to admit they're fated mates... moreSix years of feuding. One week of forced proximity. A whole lot of pining. Some feuds are worth fighting for. Jax Frasier bought the disaster Christmas tree farm next to Pine’s Premium Christmas Trees for one reason--to annoy Everett Pine until he finally paid attention to him. It worked. They’ve been at war for years. Everett hates Jax's chaotic farming methods; Jax hates his refusal to admit they're fated mates. But when a local news segment traps them in a "friendly" holiday competition, their private war goes public. Now they’re stuck sharing breathing space, decorating trees while (literally) tied together with garland, and trying to ignore the fact that Jax's inner wolf wants to claim Everett right there in the snow. Everett thinks they’re fighting for a cash prize. Jax knows they’re fighting for forever. A clean holiday MM shifter rom-com with enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, competitive hijinks, and six years of unresolved tension finally exploding in the best way possible. less
