Mayor Reese McConnell has big plans to reinvent Apple Blossom Flats from a sleepy mountain suburb into a thriving city of its own. It took a year for him to get the green light from council for their first annual autumn festival, and it needs to go off without a hitch or the council won't fund another one. But when his teenage son starts getting into trouble, Reese is torn between being there for his son and doing his job. He certainly doesn't welcome advice from Andi Palmer. According to the town gossips, the former high school counselor was fired for leading students astray. She should stick to designing jewelry, something she appears to be successful at. Even so, he finds himself drawn to her beautiful and joy-filled spirit and begins to question the stories. Andrea "Andi" Palmer took a huge leap in faith to give up her secure job to design and sell her custom jewelry pieces. After depleting her savings to buy the property on Main Street and get her shop off the ground, she's excited to be a part of the city's transformation. Or she would be if the handsome new mayor didn't shut down her every suggestion! When she volunteers to chair a key festival committee, he'll be forced to listen to her ideas. But as they work together, she sees him in a new light. As a man of faith and commitment. A single parent who has sacrificed much for his son. A man she could envision sharing her forever… Can this couple work together to pull off the town's first annual Autumn Festival or will they drown in a dunk tank of disagreements? Will Reese believe the lies? Or will the truth rescue their blossoming romance?
