Maybell Parish has always been a dreamer and a hopeless romantic. She has long preferred to live in her own world rather than face the disappointments of real life. So when Maybelle inherits a charming house in the Smoky Mountains from her great-aunt Violet, she jumps at the opportunity to start over. But upon arrival there, she realizes that the problems are just beginning. Not only is the house a real piece of junk, but she is also not the only heiress: she has to share everything with Wesley Koehler, a grumpy handsome gardener. And it turns out that he has completely different plans for the house. Convincing the taciturn Wesley to stop avoiding Maybelle and compromise is a more difficult task than fulfilling Violet’s dying wishes. But as Maybell sees something unexpectedly sweet in Wesley's frown, and as the two begin to slowly let their guard down, they will realize that sometimes the smallest steps outside of their comfort zone can lead to the biggest rewards.
