Cara Faulk has always loved Christmas and delights in anything related to the holiday season, but even she finds it odd when two elves show up at her door offering her a paid vacation. As they approach their destination?the North Pole?things get even stranger. Cara is informed that the elves would like her to seduce Santa, because Christmas is in need of a Mrs. Clause.

Extremely reluctant about this new adventure, Cara is thrown once again when she is berated and hollered at in the elf workshop by none other than Chris Kringle himself. She doesn't know what is more shocking, the fact that Santa is drop dead gorgeous or that he's arrogant, self-centered, and anti-social.

Despite their less than stellar introduction, Cara finds she can't resist Chris. His life is enchanting, and his dedication to his work humbling. She finds herself drawn to him despite his egotism and their frequent shouting matches. The two dance back and forth between a love/hate relationship. Neither wishes to marry or be a part of the elves' plot, but they can't seem to keep their hands off of one another. As the holiday's end draws near, Cara is torn with giving up Chris and the magical life she's been introduced to and admitting that she might just be falling in love with Santa.
