As spring flowers start to bloom, April throws herself into the project and finally begins to mend her broken heart. But then her high school rival Luke Pointer shows up. He's just as infuriating as April remembers, with his arrogant charm, perfectly styled hair and striking blue eyes. And it looks like their old rivalry isn't over yet: now a successful real estate developer, Luke has plans to tear down half of Main Street, including April's beloved flower store. April can’t believe that the fate of her business now rests in Luke’s annoyingly attractive hands, but she isn’t ready to give up on her fresh start just yet. If only April could find a way to make Luke set aside is hard hat and follow his heart instead of his blueprints...

As Penny and Ethan spend every day of harvest season working side-by-side, it becomes clear that there’s still a spark flickering between them. And Penny can’t help but wonder if she might be falling for Ethan all over again…
