Margot Baxter takes on her most challenging etiquette client yet when aging movie star Bianca hires her for intensive coaching. Bianca needs to learn diplomatic protocol to become a proper ambassador's wife, but her career built on scandal makes this transformation difficult. The lessons require Margot to move into the converted monastery owned by Bianca's reclusive son Alec, whose guarded nature intrigues her. Meanwhile, Sunshine Baxter refuses to repeat past mistakes with men who used and discarded her. She commits to finishing college and excelling as a nanny for a single father, determined not to fall for her boss despite their growing attraction. Both sisters carry the weight of their family's legendary bad luck in romance, but this summer forces them to confront whether they can break the pattern that has defined generations of Baxter women.
