Rachel O'Neill is an American writer in England who is betrothed to Ethan Philips. She can't believe she's accepted Ethan's proposal, even though it's merely a business arrangement. She's afraid of commitment and intimacy, arrangement or not, having been miserably through it all before. What's worse, she's unable to muster the guts to tell Ethan she can't go through with the marriage. She complicates her life even more by kissing a complete stranger at London's massive celebration in historic Trafalgar Square at the stroke of Midnight on New Year's Eve. The events that unfold rapidly whisk Rachel into a world of adventure, romance, travel and discovery. Here she comes face to face with eclectic characters who appear to have been traveling together for more than one lifetime. Will Rachel find what she is looking for? Are her dreams real? Will Ethan persuade her to be his bride?
