Single mom and flower shop owner Jillian had a promising career in women’s hockey. But life gave her a slap shot and now has a precocious six-year-old daughter who loves hockey too. Jillian’s focus is her daughter and work in Dickens. Then a newcomer stops in for flowers. He might be good-looking—no, great looking—but Jillian doesn’t need any complications. Brett hasn’t held a hockey stick in ten years, not since a career ending injury in the NHL. He’s moved to Dickens to help his newly widowed mother and he doesn’t have any interest in dating. He might make an exception for the pretty blue-eyed florist. Brett’s delighted when he takes a coaching the local youth hockey group and finds Jillian’s daughter on his team. Jillian’s not the average hockey mom, and Brett’s looking forward to discovering her secrets. Both of them know life rarely turns out as planned. In a town that cherishes Christmas, hockey pucks and holly berries might just lead to kisses under the mistletoe.
