Becoming Mrs. Claus (ePub)

"It's Santa magic, baby."

In the enchanting sequel to State v. Claus, Attorney Meg Riley finds herself plunged into the whirlwind realm of the North Pole, where the magic of Christmas meets the reality of daily life.

Faced with the choice between her independent life in Connecticut and a future with the man she loves, Meg wrestles with the implications of marrying Santa himself, her beloved Ralph Claus. Because as wondrous as the North Pole may be, it's a far cry from her familiar existence. Even the bliss of being with Ralph is overshadowed by logistical challenges, unexpected family drama, and the oddities of this extraordinary, yet bizarre, new world (fermented walrus, anyone?).

Just when it seems that Meg and Ralph might finally live happily ever after, a devastating catastrophe shakes the very foundations of the Pole. Meg will need to muster every scrap of her ingenuity, legal expertise, and determination as she endeavors to restore harmony at the Pole, manage intricate Christmas preparations, and protect Santa-all while learning the true meaning of being Mrs. Claus.

Becoming Mrs. Claus celebrates the joy of self-discovery, the generosity of second chances, and the transformative power of love and Christmas.

*****

"For those who've ever wondered, it turns out that Santa Claus isn't much different from you or me. Nor is the Claus family. In Becoming Mrs. Claus, P. Jo Anne Burgh's delightful follow-up to State v. Claus, she gives readers a family that, in its petty arguments, its stumblings, and its deep love for one another, we can all relate to. This is like no other Christmas story you have ever read, wonderfully imaginative, quite risqué, and, despite the elves and flying reindeer, so perfectly
human. I guarantee that after you've read this book, you'll never see that jolly old elf in the same way again."
~ William Kent Krueger, award-winning author of The River We Remember
