In this modern day variation of Jane Austen's “Pride and Prejudice,” Elyssa Barnett is an aspiring interior designer who clashes with William Denton, president of Pemberleo Coffee, at her sister Janet's wedding to Chad. Two years later, Elyssa and Will meet under tragic circumstances. She blames him wholly for what happened and doesn't think she can ever forgive him. As she is unwittingly thrown into his presence in exotic Guatemala, she discovers, much to her dismay, that he may have a heart afterall.
