Melissa put her life on hold while she helped her mom take care of her dying dad. After he passes, she decides to take a summer adventure before restarting her life. When her truck breaks down on the expressway, Chris, a handsome, rugged farmer, helps tow her to safety. He also finds her a place to stay in an old farmhouse that is owned by Kathy, the sassy widow woman who also owns the bakery.
While Melissa waits for her truck to be repaired, Kathy offers her a job at her bakery to help pay for the unexpected cost of truck repairs. The longer Melissa stays, the more she grows closer to everyone in the small town near Lake Michigan, especially Chris and his troubled sister, Hannah. Although Hannah left her abusive husband, she has no idea what he is actually capable of doing. Who would have known that in such a tight-knit community, there would be danger lurking right around the corner? In the end, Melissa needs to decide if her summer adventure should continue or if her future resides in the farmhouse behind the bakery.
