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.
