Almost 30, Emma Sheridan is desperately in need of a change. After a string of failed relationships, she can admit that no man has ever lived up to her idea of perfection except the Scottish fictional star of romantic fantasies the world over - James Fraser. Her ideal man might be ripped from the pages of a book, but Emma hopes that by selling all her worldly possessions and taking off for Scotland she might be closer to finding him. As she scours the country's rolling hills and crumbling castles, Emma finds that in searching for her own Jamie Fraser, she might find herself.

In a tale reminiscent of "The Amazing Race" and "Around the World in Eighty Days," a woman strives to save her family bookstore while grappling with unexpected competition. Ramona Keene, a New York City native, dreams of film school and Paris but finds herself working at her uncles' charming bookstore, where adventures unfold within the pages of secondhand books. Her life takes a turn when a new landlord and his conniving nephew threaten to triple the rent, jeopardizing the store's future. To help, Romy applies for a job at ExLibris Expeditions, a company that recreates literary journeys. She lands an unusual internship: retracing Phileas Fogg's route from Jules Verne's classic and crafting a modern adventure for a client. The challenge is daunting; she must adhere to the original path without using commercial flights and has less than eighty days to complete it. As she confronts her fears of venturing beyond her comfort zone, Romy discovers she has competition in the form of Dominic Madison, the attractive nephew of her family's adversary. Can she complete the journey in time to save the bookstore, all while navigating her growing feelings for someone who could jeopardize her dreams?
