Love at Sunset Terrace
Sophie Carter, half owner/operator of C and L Mod, a successful Los Angeles-based interior design firm with many high-profile and thus demanding clients, is feeling burnt out, realizing her work is not the creative outlet she had envisioned where she acting more as counselor to her clients. On the advice of her business partner Spencer, despite the number of looming deadlines, Sophie decides to take a short two-week vacation to decompress. She chooses the small lakeside town of Summerside solely upon learning it is the locale of the painting hanging in her office, painted by her now deceased and equally creative Nana, the painting and Nana the source of her daily inspirations. She plans to use Nana and Summerside as inspiration during this time away, finding all that Nana found special about her time there, which basically means putting away all her electronic devices and not even thinking about work. She ends up choosing an accommodation off Airbnb: Sunset Terrace. Long in his family, Michael owns and operates the establishment. Sophie learns that Sunset Terrace used to be the emotional heart of the town, where many events were held, but that changed when Michael's wife Natalie passed, he having shut down the social side of his life solely to focus on raising his now preteen daughter, Kailey. In part taking cues from Michael's neighbor and childhood friend Christine, who worries about Michael in potentially losing everything in his life when Kailey embarks on a "teenage" life of her own, Sophie, in making a connection with both Michael and Kailey, tries to open up Sunset Terrace to its former glory, both for Michael/Kailey and her own sake. As it seems that Sophie and Michael are falling for each other, Michael will have to decide if he has space in his heart for more than Kailey and for someone other than Natalie, and if Sophie is willing to put all the hard work that led to her professional success for a small town life.

Lead with Your Heart
Living in the small town of Campbell, Minnesota, Maura and Ben Walker - a bank manager and a county recreation supervisor respectively, and former high school sweethearts - have two offspring, daughter Lacey who is away at college and son Adam who is just about to head off to college, which would make Maura and Ben empty nesters after he leaves. Outwardly, they are a tight knit family. Although Maura and Ben still love each other, they have always been different personalities with different interests - he a conservative baseball fanatic, she a more adventurous lover of the arts - and are drifting apart in almost every aspect of their lives, neither wanting to acknowledge it but dreading the fact that they won't have Adam as a focus in their lives and as such a buffer between them. They agree that Maura should accept a prestigious temporary six week secondment to the bank's head office in Minneapolis. That temporary position becomes permanent if Maura wants it. While Maura sees it as something she's worked for for her entire career and thus wants them to move to Minneapolis permanently, Ben doesn't like change, and despite being a state employee who can transfer, doesn't want to move to the big city where there are currently no open positions anyway. So they decide to try a long distance relationship - married but apart. Everyone around them, including Lacey and Adam, see their experiment as a train wreck waiting to happen, and the start of the break up of the family. Lacey, who is home from college for the summer, decides to move in with her mom, while Adam stays in Campbell with their dad, each keeping an eye out for their respective parent in making sure the family stays together. They believe that other people are waiting in the wings waiting to pounce on the situation, most specifically Ben's coworker Sienna Halvorson who once vied with Maura for Ben's affections when they were in high school, and Thomas Hardison, the suave divorced bank president who loves the arts as she does. But if Maura and Ben are truly going to save their marriage, they have to acknowledge that there is a problem and work to find solutions to those problems.
