A Christmas Vow Laura Shinn

Life is a funny thing when you're six years old. Shanda Bratton knew she and Chris would be friends forever. Chris didn't know about the secret love she held for him in her heart, even though he was a lot older. She would love him forever, even after she grew up. It was set in stone. But would Chris ever see her as anything other than the kid he'd known all his life? With a difference of five years, Chris Milano knew that his and Shanda's ages would always separate them. That is, until the day she came home after graduating college. He was shocked to find a full-grown woman, rather than the fresh, young girl he remembered. His desire for her never vanished, though she'd been much too young for him to show it when she was sixteen. He could no longer use that as an excuse to avoid her attentions. And looking into her eyes - the eyes of a grown woman - did he really want to? This Christmas would be one neither would ever forget.
