Description <p>For Astrid Parker, failure is unacceptable. Ever since she broke up with her fianc&eacute; a year ago, she&rsquo;s been focused on her career&mdash;her friends might say she&rsquo;s obsessed, but she&rsquo;s just driven. When Pru Everwood asks her to be the designer for the Everwood Inn&rsquo;s renovation that will be broadcasted on a popular home improvement show, Innside America, Astrid knows this is the answer to everything that is wrong with her life. It&rsquo;ll be the perfect distraction from her failed love life, and her perpetually displeased mother might finally give her nod of approval. However, Astrid never planned on Jordan Everwood, Pru&rsquo;s granddaughter and lead carpenter for the inn&rsquo;s renovation, who despises every modern design decision Astrid makes. Jordan is determined to preserve the history of her family&rsquo;s inn, particularly as the rest of her life is in shambles. When that determination turns into a little light sabotage, ruffling Astrid&rsquo;s perfect little feathers, the showrunners ask them to play up the tension. But somewhere along the way, their dislike for each other turns into something quite different, and Astrid must decide what success truly means. Is she going to pursue the life that she&rsquo;s expected to lead, or the one she really wants?</p>
