Daily horoscope for Pisces: Beware road-trips and handsome strangers...

Psychic Clair has a flair for reading tarot cards, yet a blind spot when it comes to predicting her own future—especially matters of the heart. Which might explain why she’s surprised to find herself engaged to vodka magnate Jack Heron after knowing him for a few hours. What it doesn’t explain, however, is an increasingly strange series of events, from the car that off-roads of its own accord, the appearance of Jack’s fairy-tale castle—and Clair’s potential mother-in-law, who’s hiding one hell of a family secret. And it definitely doesn’t explain the way Clair keeps thinking about Jack’s business partner—the mysterious and infuriatingly sexy Mike. Get ready for a quirky comedy at its very best and a romantic road trip you’ll never forget.
