May Taylor comes from a long line of wedding planners, but she herself has never had the pleasure, although she does have her wonderful daughter, Kylie, a special child who seems to feel things more deeply than others and who sees angels. It's Kylie who brings her mother and Bruins hockey star, Martin Cartier, together. For Martin, it's love at first sight, but May is leery of relationships. She finally agrees to marriage, but life is complicated as their careers require that they live alternately in Connecticut, Canada, and Boston. May is perceived as manipulating the NHL hunk into marriage by the press and fans, while Martin struggles within the shadow of his famous estranged father, Serge, a three-time Stanley Cup champion who squandered his fortune and family with his gambling obsession. With her gift, Kylie tries to unite the family in the face of tragedy, and the prolific Rice skillfully blends romance with magic.
