Jo thought she had her career all mapped out, after finishing her degree in archaeology she was going to work in Italy. Then she met Miles, a wealthy London businessman, and everything changed. When Miles's betrayal shatters her heart, in one wild and tear-stained moment of despair Jo throws her belongings into a suitcase and takes refuge with her cousin Heather in Edinburgh. In the Scottish capital the annual festival is in full swing and the whole city is a vast playground of theatre, music and art. Without Jo realizing it, her sudden arrival soon stirs up trouble. As Jo slowly drags herself out of the doldrums of broken-hearted misery amidst the whirlwind of the world-famous festival, emotions reach boiling point around her. There is Jerry, the fun-loving friend who cannot help pursuing Jo. There is Duncan, Heather's boyfriend, a Scotsman whose rugged charm and impressive physique Jo just cannot ignore. And then there is Duncan's best friend, the drop-dead gorgeous Craig, as beautiful as a Greek statue and definitely beyond Jo's reach. It is enough for him to walk into the room to set women's hearts on fire with desire. Of course Jo falls head over heels in love. It is just like Jo to long for the impossible.
