Adeline's Abrauxian Santa Claws

Book Seven of the Abrauxian Brides Series

A grumpy alien Santa. A determined Aquar’thyn heroine. A frozen moon ready to make Christmas history.

Adeline Tanaka Icebreath wants one thing: a spectacular holiday market on Roxus to finally lift her spirits. All that's required is twinkling lights, hot chocolate, music, and her handsome husband Nykon dressed as Santa Claws. Simple.

Then a damaged refugee ship crash-lands with the last survivors of Kalveth and their enormous bone stags. The Christmas shipment from Earth is delayed. And over three hundred displaced Jinxari gremlins turn the Citadel into interstellar mayhem.

Nykon relocates the hyperactive gremlins and their gravity defying livestock to the repurposed high-security compound on the dark side of the Roxus, the Jinxari reveal a hidden talent for crafting toys, and hope sparks again.

But when a dangerous blizzard traps the sleigh, bone stags, and toys at the compound hours before the Christmas Eve flyover, one impossible question remains.

Can Santa Claws reach the Citadel in time… or will the first Christmas on Roxus end before it begins?

A hilarious, heartwarming, romantic sci-fi adventure full of mischief, magic, found family, and an alien Santa you won’t forget.

Recommended Holiday Read

During the Citadel’s Story Hour, Adeline Tanaka Icebreath (our very own Mrs. Claws of Roxus) reads a beloved Earth classic to the gathered alien children: Cats Don’t Like Christmas by Andy Wortlock. It quickly becomes a favorite on the ringed moon, especially with Yuki, the Kairoxian Frost Panther who insists that every page is an act of personal truth.

A Note for Readers of the Abrauxian Brides

Each novel in the Abrauxian Brides series is written as a complete stand-alone romance with its own satisfying arc, adventure, and happily-ever-after. You can start anywhere and enjoy the story without reading the others first.

However, the universe is deeply interconnected. Characters grow across multiple books, friendships deepen, politics shift, and events ripple from one storyline to the next. Readers who experience the series in order will catch every reference, reunion, and hidden thread woven through the larger saga.

And the journey continues.
Look for Kateryna’s Abrauxian Prince coming early 2026, where the sharp-witted Princess of Abrauxia finally gets her own intergalactic romance.

Welcome back to the stars.
