For Astrid Parker, failure is unacceptable. Ever since she broke up with her fiancé a year ago, she's been focused on her career. So when she's asked to be the designer for the Everwood Inn's renovation (to be featured on a hugely popular home makeover show!) Astrid is thrilled. Not only will the project be the perfect distraction, but her perpetually displeased mother might finally give her a nod of approval.

However, Astrid never planned on Jordan Everwood, lead carpenter for the renovation. Jordan is determined to preserve the history of her family's inn, particularly as the rest of her life is in shambles. When that determination turns into some light sabotage to ruffle Astrid's perfect little feathers, the showrunners ask them to play up the tension. But somewhere along the way, their dislike for each other evolves into something quite different . . . It's time for Astrid to decide if she's going to pursue the life that she's expected to lead or the one that she really wants?
