The Art of Running in Heels

Call this Chinooks Hockey: The Next Generation, as Gibson returns to her popular series with the daughter of the protagonists from the 1988 opener, Simply Irresistible. We first meet Lexie Kowalsky as she is on the run from her "dream" wedding as the winner of the reality TV series Gettin' Hitched—because she doesn't want to "get hitched," at least not to a man she barely knows and certainly doesn't love. But her escape, still in her slightly trashy wedding gown, finds her jumping headfirst onto a friend's chartered plane. Already aboard is Sean Knox, the newest player on the Seattle Chinooks hockey team, coached by her dad. And even though it is lust at first sight, Sean is on his way to visit his crazy mother in tiny Sandspit, BC, and doesn't have time to rescue a ditzy reality show wannabe. Still, their forced proximity shows him that Lexie is far removed from his assumptions and that her kind of lunacy is something he can't live without.
