Plot Synopsis

Megan Quinn has a lot going for her. Her boyfriend, Philip Carter, has just been named one of Chicago'a Ten Fastest Rising Legal Stars. Sure, hes a little full of himself, but hes just ambitious - nothing wrong with that. And granted, Megan is still a customer service rep at a real estate company instead of the architect she has dreamed all her life of becoming but thats about to change. She has just been handed an important assignment by her demanding boss, Jordan St. Clair and if she is successful, she will earn her shot at becoming an architect for the firm. The only drawback is the assignment itself- she is to return to her hometown of Cedarvale during Apple Festival week and convince Frances Figgins to sell her beautiful lakeside property so that a mall can be developed there. Upon arrival in Cedarvale, Megan is quickly roped into filling in for her dad at Rosie's Cafe for the week, which is their family business. Before long, she is surprised to run into her high school sweetheart Joe Wainwright. They exchange pleasantries but Megan still harbors unresolved feelings for Joe. They were soulmates who knew they would spend the rest of their lives together; until he suddenly and without explanation broke up with her a week after she left for college. Between waiting tables and visiting Mrs. Figgins in various unsuccessful attempts to get her to sell her property, she is pretty stressed out. She solicits Joe'a help in convincing Mrs. Figgins and, as they spend more and more time together, they come to realize that whatever it is they shared all those years ago has never really gone away. When Megan's boss arrives in town to close the deal, Megan realizes what needs to be done to make both Mrs. Figgins and her boss happy. And when she finally learns the real reason Joe broke up with her Megan sees what she has been missing, where she belongs and realizes how you never really get over your first love.
