Retired hockey star Remington Knight is back on top... and he intends to stay that way. After having everything, losing it all and then getting it back, his only focus is preparing for the inaugural season of his new professional hockey team. Taking a detour to the quaint little town of Garland Grove, British Columbia where Remy just inherited an ice arena he didn’t even know his father owned, is a distraction he can’t afford right now. The plan is simple... get in, hire a realtor, and get the hell out before Christmas. Bad luck follows Noelle Burrier around like a lost puppy. She’s barely getting by, living in her car and working a dead-end job at the concession stand of the local hockey rink. When the arena’s hotshot new owner comes in ready to sell, she finds herself on thin ice, desperate to make him see more than dollar signs. The more time they spend together, the harder it is to keep their distance and deny the fire building between them. With Remy just passing through, and Noelle stuck where she is, will they find the magic of Christmas together or will her knight in shining armor skate off into the sunset, leaving her alone in the cold?

Why does she have to travel seven hundred years through time to find a decent guy?Brokenhearted Gillian Corbett finally finds the knight of her dreams...in the past. Unfortunately he's bossy, overbearing, and...betrothed! Fortunately, he thinks she is his affianced, which keeps her from garderobe duty. Or worse, being hanged as a spy. She knows she has to get back to her own time before his real fiancé shows up and the truth is discovered, but until she finds a way, she's going to squeeze every bit of enjoyment she can out of this situation. As far as she's concerned, this is one relationship in which she gets to call the shots, not the other way around. The dowry provided by his betrothed bought him, lock, stock, and barrel. She'll gladly whip him into shape for the girl who ends up with him. No thanks required. In the meantime, Gillian owns him, and as every twenty-first century girl knows...ownership has its privileges.Why can't he find a lady who is obedient, submissive...or at least not trying to kill him?After a horrible first marriage that ended badly, Sir Kellen Marshall is determined to protect what is left of his dreams.

So why does he feel he'd like to lay the world at her feet if she'd simply give him the chance?When modern meets medieval, can there be a happily ever after?OTHER BOOKS BY DIANE DARCY:Serendipity, She's Just Right, Once in a Blue Moon, The Christmas Star, A Penny for Your Thoughts, Beauty and the Beach, The Princess Problem, Steal His Heart.
