The Merriest Misters

By: Timothy Janovsky

The Santa Clause meets Husband Material in this delightful, queer holiday novel!

Patrick Hargrave and Quinn Muller have been married for less than a year, but their passionate, sex-filled romance is cracking under the pressures of domestic life and a cumbersome mortgage. That’s until Christmas Eve when Patrick wakes Quinn up with: “I think I’ve killed a man.”

Quinn realizes the “burglar” he knocked out was none other than Mr. Claus himself. Instructed by the groggy elf to don the red suit and take the reins of the reindeer-guided sleigh up on the roof (“We just got that re-shingled!”), Quinn and Patrick work together to save Christmas.

But as the sun rises on Christmas morning, the sleigh brings them back to the North Pole instead of New Jersey, and they’re in for a massive shock. The couple must assume the roles of Santa Claus and the first ever Merriest Mister (Mrs. Claus) or Christmas will be canceled… permanently.

With Christmas–and their marriage–on the line, Patrick and Quinn agree to stay together for one year. But can running a toy shop together save their relationship, or will Patrick and Quinn be stuffing coal in each other’s stockings come next Christmas?
