Shannon is spending the first holiday season without her dead husband David at his family's home.  She doesn't really want to, but she wants their little girl to know her daddy's family.David's brother Ryan comes home for the first time in years & the sparks start flying when he & Shannon are together.  He's been in love with her since he first saw her, while she was still with his brother.  And he feels guilty because now his brother is gone & he promised he'd take care of Shannon & their baby, but he wants Shannon for himself.Ryan spends a lot of time sending Shannon mixed signals.  First he's all over her, then he's pushing her away.  Then he finally leaves between Thanksgiving & Christmas to try to get his head together.  When he returns, he tells Shannon the truth about he was with David when he died & how he feels guilty about still being alive & wanting her & maybe he didn't do enough to help David try to make it.When I wasn't wanting to smack Ryan for being a jerk, I was enjoying the smoking hot chemistry between the two.
