She is about to marry her ideal man, Magnus Tavish, but in one afternoon her “happily ever after” begins to fall apart.

Finders keepers! Now she can leave a number for the hotel to contact her when they find her ring. Perfect!   Well, perfect except that the phone’s owner, businessman Sam Roxton, doesn’t agree.
