Susana Prescott welcomes the chance to relocate with her family to the Arizona Territory. She sees moving from Saint Louis to the up-and-coming town of Windemere as a fresh beginning for herself, her widowed father, and her younger brothers, Seth and Will.

Eager to start her own business as a trained baker, she hopes to open a bakery. What she doesn't anticipate is the number of single men in Windemere. She's never considered herself pretty, especially compared to her younger, married, sister. However, she can barely make it down the street without being accosted by a half-dozen of the local millworkers.

Jackson (Jake) Harkness is the owner of Snake River Sawmill. Eager to make a go of this new endeavor, he's constantly looking for ways to improve the efficiency of his business, while still corralling his young, and impressionable, workers. It doesn't help that they all seem to be smitten with the town's newest arrival.

He decides to see for himself what all the fuss is about and ventures into Sis's Fine Baked Goods with the intention of asking the woman in question to stop flirting with his men. All it takes is one look, and one taste of her famous sweet potato pie, for Jake to see exactly what's got the town's single men all riled up.
