The Spirit of Christmas by Liz Talley
Mary paige Gentry was having quite the day when she stopped off at the convenience store to get a pair of glitzy socks for her uncles gift at the annual bash tonight.
She got the coffee for the homeless man near the dumpster and also gave him the socks for her uncle. He asked her name and wrote it on the paper he held and gave her a check for 2 million dollars as another man in the distance wrapped a cashmere coat around the man. She resembled the spirit of Christmas. She was to be the new poster girl for the campaign of the spirit of Christmas if she signed and cashed the check.
Brennan Henry runs MBH but his grandfather Malcolm Henry is in the picture still. Malcolm will get what he wants, he always does. He told Brennan to take Mary out for a cup of coffee so they could discuss strategies about the campaign. He takes the contracts to her house where she finally throws Simon out of her apartment along with his new girl.
Love the spirit of giving and not needing anything in return. it's what I do year round when I knit for other local organizations. There is no better feeling so I can imagine how Mary feels. Hope she can persuade Brennan to get over his troubles, they do talk while on kitchen duty and she learns why he really hates the holidays.
This story also follows the love interests of Malcolm...
Mary and Brennan are each having sexual thoughts and what their relationship could lead to, if they only let it... Love the idea Malcolm has for the big gala and how others need to be told what it's really all about.
Love banter her and Mitzi have when they want to have a girls day shopping.
Never had a motorcycle ride sound so erotic, whoa!
Brennan's cousin Asher steps in between them and talks to Mary, the mishap causes his grandfather to collapse and he has a medical emergency..
Great story, great sex.

Good book. I loved the theme that there is more to life than making money - a kind of A Christmas Carol story. Brennan's grandfather had had a heart attack several months earlier and realized that his life sucked, so he decided to do something about it. While posing as a homeless man, he was helped by Mary Paige who he then asked to be the face of his "Spirit of Christmas" campaign. He used this campaign to get the people of the city to start being kinder to each other. Brennan was an all-business kind of guy who saw his grandfather's plan as a bunch of hooey, but decided to humor him. I liked Mary Paige a lot. She was a pretty down-to-earth person who was also very compassionate to those less fortunate. She also tended to see the good in people. She wasn't sure she wanted to do the promotion but was willing to try because of the good she thought she could do with the money she was offered. She wasn't happy at first at having to work with the cynical Brennan, but hoped that maybe she could open his eyes a little. She was worried about her attraction to him, but was pretty sure that he'd have no interest in her. The more time they spend together the more they like each other and things start to take off. Brennan is still something of a hard nut to crack and I love some of the things Mary Paige does that show him how she feels. Brennan doesn't like the Christmas season. His parents died at Christmas and he has worked very hard to protect his feelings ever since. He thinks his grandfather is growing senile but humors him anyway. He doesn't quite know what to think of Mary Paige, but she intrigues him because she is so different than anyone he has ever known. The more time he spends with her, the more he finds himself changing. There is a huge misunderstanding where he really blows it with her, but manages to see the light before it is too late (of course). I liked Brennan's grandfather a lot, and his romance was sweet.
