If she can\u2019t finish her book in time, she\u2019ll have to pay her advance back, and that is something she cannot afford. But when she inherits her family\u2019s ranch, this big city girl finds herself having to make a detour to Montana. With her best friends along for the ride, Heather intends on selling her inheritance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Falling in love with Cliff (Dennis Andres), her childhood friend who\u2019s now a cowboy and veterinarian, wasn\u2019t in her plans. He\u2019s just next door to the dilapidated ranch, and he\u2019s a challenge to her New York City ideals. With him in her life, Heather is set to learn that what she thought she wanted may not be what she needs.

She has you covered; she\u2019s the best at what she does. But when it comes to her love life, there\u2019s a lot left to be desired. Convinced romance just isn\u2019t in the cards for her, Gemma is ready to give up on dating altogether until she meets a fortune teller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When she\u2019s told that she\u2019s one horrible date away from finding true love, the event planner is skeptical, but she\u2019s open to the idea. That\u2019s why she accepts a blind date with Nick (Corey Sevier) and, as is her luck, it goes horribly. Everything that can go wrong does, including Gemma crashing her car into Enzo (Brendan Morgan), a handsome and wealthy stranger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With the fortune teller\u2019s predictions starting to come true, Gemma\u2019s cynicism begins to evaporate as she opens the door to love.

Her high-stress, low-thanks job isn\u2019t cutting it anymore, and neither is the situationship she\u2019s found herself in. But the kitchen she inherited from her grandmother, who cultivated Savvy\u2019s love for cooking, along with a trove of delicious recipes, could be the spark she needs to make a change. So, too, could Isaiah (Dorian Grey), the contractor she\u2019s hired who\u2019s falling for Savvy\u2019s heart as much as he is her cuisine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With her mom and best friend cheering her on from the sidelines, Savvy plans to step into her true calling.
