Santa's Obsession

When Mykael Frost—Santa, but not the saint from carols—swipes right, the North misses a beat and fate answers from Kansas City. He’s winter in a sharper silhouette: immortal at thirty-eight, mahogany-dark, silver-eyed, and far more blade than bell. 
Sa’Niedra is the match that won’t let go. Their first brush crackles like a record finding its groove, and the city leans in—then invites them on a day that sings its history: 18th & Vine’s Black Archives, the Quindaro Ruins overlook, a quiet stop with Charlie Parker, and a victory plate at Jones Bar-B-Q. 
But Mykael’s life runs on oaths, corridors of aurora, and laws that don’t forgive mortal entanglements. To keep talking, he gives Sa’Niedra a secret coin and a vow—“Between bells, meet me”—a thread the Council can’t trace. Back on the flight deck, even the reindeer don’t know he’s broken the oldest rule. 
As winter tightens and the watchful North takes notice, desire turns to devotion. Mykael and Sa’Niedra must decide whether to honor the laws that keep the world steady—or risk the machinery of wonder for a love hot enough to make winter breathe
