Small Town Christmas — Tammy Tate

After ten years, Brandy blames herself when she gets blind-sided by her husband and he brings their marriage to a screeching halt. Mentally, she's crushed and confused as to what went wrong and the breakup traps her in a dark, cynical place that she can't seem to pull herself out of. Losing her job at a time when her self-esteem is already at an all-time low only adds to her depression.In Brandy's eyes, she's a train wreck searching for a place to derail. Two weeks before Christmas her mother suggests that she move home. Taking her mother's advice, Brandy leaves Dallas, Texas for Wauchula, Florida.Once Brandy gets to Florida, she's greeted by Connie, a high school acquaintance that she hasn't seen in over ten years. Brandy learns Connie's brother is flying in from Chicago for the holidays and has just underwent a nasty divorce of his own. Connie's determined, with Brandy's help, they can cheer him up. Brandy's not convinced.To Brandy's surprise, Shaun is no longer the tall, geeky kid she remembers from high school with black rimmed glasses, taped on the sides. He's tall all right, and sexy as hell, wears contacts and sports an eight pack instead of six.One day at the zoo changes their life forever.
