Settling in the small town of Cochrane, on the outskirts of Calgary, Alberta, she still enjoys her sports -both playing and watching. Having left her home in Turkey at 17, Cata first made her way to the United States to finish high school, thanks to a scholarship, then went north to Canada for university. Now, many years later, that stranger turned husband and her have three kiddos and are still going strong. A self-described “nerdy-jock”, She once grabbed the shoulders of a Flames hockey jersey-wearing stranger in a bar and yelled “A swear this team can’t score for the life of them!” She must have made a big impression because he found her later and asked to buy her a beer.

Will pain from the past deny them the chance of a beautiful future?Ĭata Ree is a woman with an adventurous, bold spirit and love of life and laughter. But when a simple gift causes a horrible misunderstanding, Carter pulls back out of fear the scars on his heart still cut too deep. Neither Skylar nor Carter are prepared for what fate has in store for them, yet the pull toward one another is undeniable. And then a blonde with curly hair and emerald eyes waltzes into his life and awakens desires he thought no longer existed. At this point in his life, he’s not sure he’ll ever be able to move on. Since his wife died two years ago, Carter Montgomery’s entire world has centered around his daughter Everly. However, the psychic touches on things even Skylar hasn’t admitted to herself, and the whole experience sticks with her-especially when she finds an abandoned purple rainboot at the mall later that day. When her mother gifts her a psychic reading on her twenty-sixth birthday, Skylar O’Conner’s jaded outlook has her bored before she even steps inside. With the magical feeling of Christmas around her, will Skylar find her Prince Charming?
