Kelly Matlock a rising sous-chef suddenly realizes that the life she thought she had is gone. She was in love with her married boss, who had her convinced that he was divorcing his wife, which was a lie. She has put her heart and soul into the restaurant and it broke her spirit that she could no longer work there. Her life as she had known it was gone; she goes to her sister Jillian's house in Virgin River to rest and figure out what she will do next.

As Kelly helps in Jill's garden and cooks up delicious meals with the heirloom vegetables Jillian grows, it’s a far cry from the type of cooking and lifestyle she is used to. Then she meets handsome Lief Holbrook, a widower who is a screenwriter. But less appealing is Lief's rebellious stepdaughter, Courtney. She's the reason they moved from L.A., but Courtney's finding plenty of trouble even in Virgin River. Over time Lief, Kelly and Courtney realize how much they love each other and become a family.
