Natalie Kaleta runs an art gallery in Happily Inc and will brave any weather for her artists. When a storm hits, she drives through the downpour to check on Ronan Mitchell, a reclusive glass artist living in the mountains. A mudslide traps her at his home, where she discovers the brooding craftsman has a playful side that turns her quiet attraction into something much stronger. Ronan came to this sunny small town to escape a family secret that shattered his sense of identity. He refuses to act on his feelings for the cheerful gallery owner because he believes she has never faced real darkness. Natalie knows better. She understands that hearts grow stronger when tested by fire. While life rarely unfolds like a storybook, she believes some dreams can become reality.
