Nick S. Klaus

Nick S. Klaus, principal at John Peter Thomas Elementary School in Snowberry, Minnesota, loves Christmas. He loves everything about it from the cookies and the tree, to donning the Santa suit for the annual Coats for Kids Drive every December. Professionally, his life is fulfilled, but his personal life is tortured. He has spent every night for the last five years dreaming about the woman next door. The woman he’d like to make Mrs. Klaus. Mandy Alexander, choir teacher for the Snowberry School District, doesn’t have a personal life. Working full-time and raising Ben and Esther, leaves her no time to date, but she’s not complaining. Her life hasn’t been easy, and she doesn’t need another entanglement, or another broken heart. Her neighbor, and coworker, Nick S. Klaus hasn’t made it a secret he’d like to take her out, but a woman scorned has a hard time learning to trust again, and Mandy has been scorned hard.This Christmas everything will change for Nick and Mandy. When life circumstances throw them together, they grab onto each other and hold tight. Ex-husbands, blisters, broken bones, and an old family feud will work against Nick and Mandy finding true love, but they don’t call him Nick S. Klaus for nothing. With the help of his head elf, and two of the cutest elves in Snowberry, Nick will teach Mandy how to hold the spirit of Christmas in her heart again, forever.
