The Vengeance of Mrs. Claus — Anastasia Vitsky

In some countries, turning 21 means gaining the right to vote and drink alcoholic beverages. For Claire Labraun, the Christmas after her 21st birthday would be beyond her wildest imagination.Minelle and Matthew Labraun believed in a traditional marriage. Matthew was head of their household, and Minelle was his helpmeet.When it came to raising their headstrong 21-year-old daughter, however, they found themselves at a loss.Minelle had always taught Claire to do the right thing for right's sake. Claire, however, had different ideas.She rebelled against their rules, flaunted authority, and connived to get things she wanted.She had never been spanked in her life; Matthew and Minelle kept that adult privilege strictly between themselves. But this year, a visit from Santa plus Claire's newly adult status would change her idea of Christmas forever.
