Engaged to be married in a few months, Yvonne is thrown off guard when she finds herself attracted to the handsome bookstore owner, Jake Lantz, and now she's asking herself unexpected questions about her future. Jake Lantz made a promise to his grandfather to never sell the book Yvonne wants to buy, and it's a promise he plans to keep. Jake begins to read the book with Eva, one of his employees, and Eva sees this time together as a way to get Jake to see her in a new light. Eva's loved him for years but senses Yvonne's attraction to Jake right away, and she wonders how Jake feels about Yvonne, an attractive English woman determined to stay in Montgomery until she convinces Jake to sell the rare book. As Yvonne's, Jake's, and Eva's individual paths merge into something more than they could have imagined, each must face decisions they never anticipated. Will Jake ultimately break his promise to his grandfather? Will Yvonne leave the quaint life she's been living in Amish Country to go back to her fianc?̌ And will Eva be able to get Jake to see her as more than a friend?
