A project manager is offered the opportunity of a lifetime in London. But when she returns to her hometown and meets the perfect guy, her passion and talent for painting is rekindled, giving her a new outlook on life and love.

Amber Verdon loves the global travel aspect of her job as Project Manager with Chicago-based Marsh Technologies, her work which has led to her putting her first love, painting, on the back-burner, perhaps permanently. Her original career thought was to travel while she led the bohemian life of the painter. While mulling over a very attractive offer for a promotion which would give her a more settled life in London, Amber is called back to her small hometown of Whitbrooke Harbor, Illinois by her mother, Barbara Verdon, as her father, Rick Verdon, is currently laid up, and she requires some help for a few days at the family café, despite the culinary arts not being among Amber's skill set. It is an especially busy time in Whitbrooke Harbor with planning for the imminent Founder's Day celebrations, this being the 100th anniversary, and Amber plans to stay until Founder's Day. While back in Whitbrooke Harbor, Amber learns that the family is facing financial hardship with their rent for the café recently being raised by the new property owner, and they are unable to make any of their operational payments in the process. Amber also gets involved in the Founder's Day celebration organization herself. She works closely with Jason Taylor, a carpenter by trade. He and his younger sister, Molly Taylor, who works in the café, are the last two descendants of the town founders. Jason, who had also wanted to lead the life of the world traveler, long ago returned to Whitbrooke Harbor upon his parents' passing to look after Molly. As Amber and Jason spend more time together, they start to fall for each other. With everything else happening in her life, will Jason be a factor in what Amber decides to do about the London job?—Huggo

Carpenter, general handyman, part-time bus driver: Jason Taylor constantly helps out the locals in his native Illinois small town Whitbrooke Harbor, and is the driving force behind the annual Founder's day festival, up for a centennial grand edition with a specially written play, having abandoned his travel firm ream to raise junior sister Molly when orphaned. The only bus passenger without cash, for whom he paid $8, turns out former schoolmate Amber Verdon, project manager with Chicago-based Marsh Technologies, who risks her London promotion shot by returning home to help her mother Barbara and sister run injured father's Rick's cafe, which isn't profitable sine new premise owner Krumpholz raised the rent heftily. Jason helps her big time, also re-discovering her old passion painting, which proves valuable, and gets repaid in kind while Cupid works his ways, but are their future options after the festival compatible?—KGF Vissers
