Who says there are no secrets in small towns? I have one, and no one in Sweetville knows. Least of all the man who’s been trying to date me for the past few years. Sebastian Johnson is perfect; he really is. And I’m really not. I was raised by a negligent mother on the outskirts of the outskirts of the nearest small city where she engaged in the career as old as time. I moved away as soon as I could, but I didn’t go too far in case my little brother or sister needed me. If I could take them with me, I would, but I’m no good either. I work hard to hide it, but I can’t even read. I couldn’t even graduate school. And Seb, the town’s ultra-successful Christmas tree farmer, thinks he wants me? He’s wrong. He’s so wrong. He doesn’t even know me. But this holiday season, things are coming to a head. He’s laying down the gauntlet, but I’m just not the one to pick it up.
Author

When it comes to books and movies, Brynn Paulin has one rule: there must be a happy ending. After that one requirement, anything else goes. And it just might in any of her books. Brynn lives in Michigan, where she likes to spoil her children and dogs—not necessarily in that order. She also loves to cook, travel and spend far too much time on social media. She enjoys mentoring and meeting new people and is always willing to chat. Personally, she finds great pleasure in spending time with her family and dogs, as well as volunteering around her community. First published in June 2007 by Ellora's Cave, Brynn is the author of over 130 books, including the bestselling Daly Way and Taboo Wishes series. According to Brynn, her writing success can be attributed to an eclectic collection of music, her local road construction crews, a trusty notebook, and of course, the people in her life who’ve finally accepted that everything is research—or will be. Brynn loves to talk to her readers and can be found at www.brynnpaulin.com.
