It was a dream come true for Jolene Broussard: she inherited a small Victorian-style hotel located among the picturesque pines of East Texas. For her, this is a chance to start a new life without feeling guilty about her failed attempt to save her mother. But there is one “but” in this ideal plan: the second half of the house belongs to the stubborn and unsociable Tucker Malone. He lost his beloved wife two years ago and has been drowning his sorrows in booze ever since. Tucker and Jolene cling to their past, afraid to move on. For both of them, rebuilding the Magnolia Hotel is an opportunity to restore order in their own hearts. But will they be able to let go of the past, trust each other and let happiness into their lives?
