Olive Watson has sworn off relationships and is embracing her complication-free lifestyle. She loves running baking pastries and making unique drink combinations at her coffee shop, The Olive Bean. Mason Cleary has almost everything he’s ever wanted: His bar, his family, and one loyal golden retriever. The only thing he's missing is someone to spend his life with.
Mason and Olive's mothers have been best friends since high school, so they raised their kids as best friends too. When Olive’s sister gets engaged, all the family pressure is directed on them at the same time the Thornwood Valley Cookie Chronicles is announced as a competition for couples only.
