June Hart is an affectionate and chatty first-grade teacher who comes from a family of money-hungry doctors. When June inherits her grandmother's 1920's farmhouse, she is compelled to remodel it, hoping to show her egotistical family she is capable of being more than an insubstantial teacher.

In the process, she finds herself spending a considerable amount of time with her hot and ill-tempered contractor, Grant Dawes.

Grant Dawes is a grouchy handyman who can seem to fix everything except his troubled past. His lack of family and friends leaves him to put all of his focus on restoring homes. That is until an eccentric and charismatic client pushes her way in to throw off his routines.

When he falls for his sweet-natured client, June Hart, Grant is forced to confront his complicated history to have a future with her.
