Reluctant bridesmaid Maura Lindridge has more on her mind than her silly little sister Amy’s wedding. Maura has taken a huge financial gamble by setting up as an artist in the picturesque village of Feorlish in the Scottish Highlands. Amy has got engaged to the wrong man and is trying to compensate by planning a lavish wedding. Fiercely independent Maura is so determined not to make Amy’s mistake that she tries to ignore the attractions of Jaime de Salinas, the half Spanish hotelier in charge of her sister’s reception.
