Megan returns to her hometown, where she must close a business deal, help out at her father's cafe, and confront lingering feelings for her childhood sweetheart.

Megan Quinn, an aspiring architect, finds herself faced with multiple tasks. She gets sent to her hometown to try to convince Mrs. Frances Figgins, her childhood mentor, to sell her family's home so that Megan's company can develop her hometown lake into a commercialized entertainment center. Megan also starts helping out at her family café after her father breaks his leg, all while also dealing with the return of her childhood sweetheart, Joe, who broke her heart.—nadawi95

Thirty-year old Megan Quinn works as the client relations supervisor for the Chicago-based development firm, Stoneland Properties. Because of her people skills learned working in the family business, Rosie's Diner (Rosie, her now deceased mother), as she was growing up, she is good at her job, although she is hoping to use her degree in architecture eventually to move into the design side of the firm. She has also been in a relationship with an up-and-coming lawyer who is a narcissistic boyfriend, Philip Carter, for nine months. Her life may take some major turns when Philip seems to want to take their relationship to the next level. Concurrently, Jordan St. Clair, an executive VP at Stoneland, wants to use her people person skills on a project, a shopping center development proposed for Sapphire Lake, located on the outskirts of her hometown of Cedarvale, Oregon, located in the heart of apple-growing country. There is one property owner holdout refusing to sell named Frances Figgins, who Megan has known all her life and who lives next to Sapphire Lake. Megan's boss Mr. St. Clair is clear to Megan, who is to head back to Cedarvale, that she has 96 hours to convince Mrs. Figgins to sign on the dotted line, doing so which would lead to that promotion into design, failure to do so meaning she's out of a job. Sapphire Lake holds bittersweet memories for Megan, it being where she and her childhood friend and high school sweetheart, Joe Wainright, professed their love for each other when they were 18, just before Megan headed off to college at Duke on scholarship for her freshman year. It was while she was away that first year that Joe sent her a Dear Jane letter, stating no specifics for wanting to break up beyond the generalities of them "moving in different directions." Heartbroken at the time, Megan has not seen or heard from Joe since, but who she knows is now widowed with a young daughter named Lily. On arriving in Cedarvale, Megan not only has to deal with Mrs. Figgins, who she learns is not averse to selling but is averse to selling specifically to Stoneland for this development, but has to assume many of the duties at the diner for her incapacitated father, Matt Quinn, owner of Rosie's Diner, who fell down a ladder and broke his foot. But perhaps most importantly, she has to confront Joe, who she learns first-hand has recently returned to live in Cedarvale with Lily. Feelings still seem to exist between the two, but nothing may come of them as they live in two different worlds, Philip more aligned to Megan's world perhaps, unless there is an explanation of why Joe broke her heart 12 years ago.—Huggo
