Before she marries practical, parent-approved Mario and starts the prestigious teaching job her father helped her to secure, Rebecca agrees to go on one last hurrah with her two best friends. On a whim, the three end up in the heart of Scotland, where Rebecca sees breathtaking beauty—and begins to question whether Mario is the right choice for her.

While exploring the Highlands, she meets Kenzie MacLeod, a copper-haired, dark-eyed musician who, compared to the sheltered Rebecca, seems to have lived a thousand thrilling lives. Rebecca is instantly attracted to the handsome, edgy Scot, and despite her well-laid plans, she hurls herself into a passionate and eye-opening affair. But vacations aren’t meant to last, and soon Rebecca must return home to Spain, her fiancé, and her conservative family’s inflexible expectations. Always the good daughter, Rebecca vows to stick to the path that has been established for her. But can she forever tame her newly awakened desires and rebellious heart?
