Alete Keetch knows she is too independent, too opinionated, and too headstrong to get along with someone enough to ever get married. But that's fine by her—she gets all the fulfillment she needs by running her favorite town celebrations. Until the much-too-attractive new fire chief comes to town, determined to cancel them.

Brooke McClellan is the owner of the shop Best Dressed and knows how to do two things very well: design amazing dresses and stay far away from serious relationships. She definitely doesn't date anyone from Nestled Hollow, and especially not her best friend, Cole. Whenever Cole Iverson isn't running his restaurant, Back Porch Grill, he's taking care of his nine-year-old daughter or tamping down the feelings he has for his best friend, Brooke. It's been three years since his wife died, and he's ready to get remarried, but he knows it could never happen with Brooke.

Macie Zimmerman would love to get married and start a family. But after so much searching, she's sick of having hope that something will work out.

If only she can keep everyone in town from trying to find her a husband.
