Not looking for any more complications in his life, especially of the female variety, Ryker De La Fuente visits family in Blossom Creek. He’s hoping the change of scenery will ease his mind and help him focus on the decision he needs to make in Italy. However, before he arrives in Blossom Creek, his plans derail when he drives the town's own, Beatrice Leonard, off the road during a snowstorm. Beatrice is different in a refreshing way, and he finds his interest piqued, which confuses him. The one thing Ryker shouldn’t be doing in Blossom Creek is flirting with an attractive woman who makes his blood warm when he’s only visiting. He can’t resist the shy beauty, and of course, one thing leads to another, giving the town something new to gossip about. While Ryker is preoccupied with Beatrice, the newly formed ladies' Book Club finds the new fire chief to be an intriguing topic of discussion.
