Minutes before my wedding, a phone call from my fiancé rips my life apart. I flee to the Scottish Highlands, seeking sanctuary in Bannock, an idyllic town I visited as a child. All I want is peace and quiet to mend my broken heart. Instead I lock horns with the grumpy Scotsman who runs my hotel. I don't recognize him at first but it turns out he's Alasdair McIntyre, the first boy I ever kissed. As a twelve-year-old, he was sweet, but now? His blunt remarks and cocky smirks infuriate me, while my comebacks only reinforce his view I'm a stuck-up big-city "lass".
