His mother helps him out with Everly as he also copes with the loss of his wife. He works in the construction business and tries his best to balance being an owner and a parent. But Skylar leaped and decided that it was “time.” Good thing, too, because that is how she ended up meeting Carter in the process.Ĭarter Montgomery is a widower and a single parent to a lovely three-year-old daughter, Everly. Her “reading” gave a lot of vague details on how to do this. After a peculiar visit to her mother’s psychic, Aubrey told Skylar that she was at a “crossroads” and had to decide what she wants to do to take control of it. She has been unhappy with her current position status, even if she does not have any work problems. Skylar O’Conner is a special events coordinator of a non-profit company. Will pain from the past deny them the chance of a beautiful future? 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?
