Welcome to Darling, Vermont, an idyllic little town in northern Vermont, where romance isn't just in the air - it's also a booming industry! And while the town might be renowned for romance, there are three who want nothing to do with it at all: the Gallagher brothers. When they were five years old, Aiden and Laurel were the subject of a picture on the town's famed Kissing Bridge, where local legend has it a kiss on the bridge means eternal love. The picture has been a part of the town's tourism campaign for twenty years. Now the council wants to recreate the picture for a new anniversary promotion. Only problem: Aiden and Laurel haven't spoken since high school. And there's nothing recently divorced Laurel wants less than to pretend happily ever after with an old flame. Will this kiss lead to a second chance at love for two hearts in need of healing?
