Bright Lights, Big Christmas (#1,191) by Mary Kay Andrews puts a different spin on this holiday romance. Kerry Tolliver is feeling stuck in small town Tarburton, North Carolina, after she is fired from her graphics art job in Charlottesville. She lost her position in a corporate merge, but she can't seem to settle. When her estranged father suffers a heart attack just before Thanksgiving, Kerry is forced to help her grumpy older brother with the Tolliver Family Tree Farm stand in the heart of New York's West Village.
Jammed into a tiny trailer with no functioning kitchen or plumbing, Murphy introduces her to the neighbors on Abingdon Square, where he and their father have set up their Christmas tree lot for years. Everyone knows and likes Murphy, so they welcome Kerry, too. Despite the freezing weather, it doesn't take long for Kerry to meet a charming man with his young son in a parking misunderstanding. Soon she finds her creative juices stirring as she creates a series of drawings for a book for young Austin. When two brothers set up a rival tree stand across the street, things begin to get complicated...
You can see where this is all going, but you won't mind a bit as you settle down with this Christmas cozy!
