It's 1902 and Daniel has left a life of luxury in New York to run his late uncle's bakery in Milford, Pennsylvania. Though he's made many friends in the small town, not everything has been rosy. His uncle's outstanding loan has fallen upon his shoulders and he could lose the bakery if he doesn't pay it back in time. Additionally, Daniel feels that lecherous loan officer Simon Prickson is actively trying to make it harder for him to repay his debt.
Furthermore, not everyone in Milford likes him. Adrian Dane, the cantankerous town blacksmith, seems to hate Daniel, and he has no idea why. Though Daniel finds Adrian irritating in every way, the two can't manage to stay away from each other. Will Daniel ever figure out what he's done to upset the inscrutable man? Can either find the companion they so desperately need?
