In faraway Spain, Carmen Suárez is reeling from a failed relationship. Enter Phillip, a man who makes her heart soar. Tall, handsome and very English, he offers marriage and adventure -- life in another country.

But as they rush to solve their immediate problems, Phillip and Carmen open themselves to clashes over culture and religion. Putting love secondary to his inheritance, Phillip asks too much of Carmen. Disappointed, she considers returning to Spain.
