Fleur Stanthorpe, an Australian, arrives in Whitby to live out a dream after surviving cancer. She plans to rent a shop and open a bookshop café, and experience the English way of life for the summer before returning home and settling down. Only, she hasn't counted on meeting gorgeous Irishman Patrick Donnelly. Their attraction is instant, their goals a world apart. He's looking for a solid relationship for the first time since his divorce five years ago, while she's having her last fling at freedom before returning home to family and responsibilities. Their problems reach beyond surviving a hot summer of romance, as both of them wonder what will happen when the season draws to an end and Fleur returns to the other side of the world. Can one brief but delicious affair be enough to keep them together?
