For Astrid Parker, failure is unacceptable. Ever since she broke up with her fiancé a year ago, she's been focused on her career. So when Pru Everwood asks her to be the designer for the Everwood Inn's renovation, which will be featured on a hugely popular home makeover show, Astrid is thrilled. Not only will the project distract her from her failed engagement and help her struggling business, but her perpetually displeased mother might finally give her a nod of approval.

Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her except memories of a lonely childhood. Her life now is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it's a different woman every night, but that's just fine with her. When Delilah's estranged stepsister pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a large check, Delilah finds herself back in Bright Falls once more. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid's stuck-up besties.

Everyone around Iris Kelly is in love. And she's happy for all of them, truly. So what if she misses her friends and family, who are busy with their perfectly paired partners. At least she has her brand-new career writing romance novels (the irony), right? Wrong. She is completely out of ideas after having spent all of her romantic energy on her debut. Perfectly happy to ignore her problems as usual, Iris goes to a Portland bar. But a night of dancing with a sexy stranger named Stefania turns into the worst one-night stand Iris has had in her life (vomit and crying are regretfully involved).

Delilah Green jurou nunca mais voltar a Bright Falls, a cidade onde cresceu. Lá não há nada para ela, só as lembranças da infância solitária e do desprezo da madrasta e da irmã postiça, Astrid. Em Nova York ela tem uma carreira como fotógrafa em ascensão e uma mulher diferente em sua cama todas as noites. Mas quando Astrid usa chantagem emocional e um cheque polpudo para forçá-la a fotografar seu casamento e a maratona de eventos preparativos, Delilah acaba concordando em voltar.

Para Astrid Parker, falhar não é uma opção. Por isso, desde que rompeu com o noivo, ela está focada na carreira. E, ao ser convidada para realizar a modernização da tradicional Pousada Everwood em um reality show de reformas, ela tem uma chance de ouro para brilhar. O projeto não só promete ser a solução para os problemas financeiros de sua empresa como pode fazer com que ela finalmente conquiste a aprovação da mãe, que nunca parece satisfeita com nada.
