Could one summer change your life? High-flying American lawyer Samantha Muir is indulging in a company afternoon tea before returning to Tennessee after a case in London. But she won’t be leaving empty-handed. She’ll have a promotion. Until her dream is handed to someone else before her very eyes. No one notices Sam’s fancy scone being crushed to a pulp between her fingers. She swiftly waves goodbye to her soul-destroying job. But now she’s at a loss for what to do with her life. Until a serendipitous meeting with a stranger miraculously provides the answers she seeks . . .

Could he offer a helping hand or two in Sam’s summer of self-discovery?
