★★ Hard-working accountant Nora Lancaster returns to her modest hometown to help manage an inn that her parents once owned. In order to escape small-town living, she'd married young and moved away. Now, as a single mother of a rebellious teenage daughter, she doesn't intend to stay long-only a few weeks at most-or until the current owner of the inn recovers from his heart attack. World-weary Julian Wilson is a businessman who arrives in town for one reason-to open another restaurant. He's lived life as a bachelor and is at the peak of a rewarding career. Interested in the possibilities of another profitable venture, he views the town as a place to manage an extensive restaurant chain and finally settle down. Nora never expected to meet a man like Julian-all business, as well as a formidable opponent-or to be instantly attracted to his kind nature and faith in God. - Dorothy returns to Cherish, SC, praying God won't let anyone from her high school days-especially Ryan-discover why her musical career failed. Ryan rose to opera stardom without God's help, yet something about Dorothy's vulnerability and faith calls to him. But his hard-earned career comes first. Doesn't it? - During a difficult time, Emmanuelle's phone calls held Nicholas together. Now she's in Cherish, holding tight to a private pain.
