Cuando Stacey se mudó a Willow Creek para cuidar de su madre enferma, sabía que su vida estaría en pausa una temporada. Lo cierto es que ahora ya han pasado años, y aunque le encante pasar los veranos sirviendo bebidas y flirteando con clientes en la feria medieval del pueblo, tiene otras expectativas de futuro. Por ello, se marca un objetivo tener su vida resuelta antes de la feria del próximo año. Quizás incluso para entonces haya encontrado a su media naranja. Al fantasear sobre el amor, a Stacey nunca se le pasó por la mente que Dex MacLean, su ligue de verano, pudiera ser un candidato. Sin duda, es muy atractivo, especialmente cuando está en el escenario con su grupo de música, pero Stacey nunca ha sentido conexión emocional con él. Pero entonces recibe un e-mail muy tierno de su galán monosilábico. y se pregunta si quizás ha estado equivocada todo este tiempo. La feria por fin regresa a Willow Creek, y Stacey espera poder verse en persona con el hombre con quien ha estado intercambiando centenares de mensajes de amor online. Pero, para su asombro, no ha sido Dex. Entonces, ¿de quién se ha estado enamorando todo este tiempo? Stacey is jolted when her friends Simon and Emily get engaged. She knew she was putting her life on hold when she stayed in Willow Creek to care for her sick mother, but it's been years now, and even though Stacey loves spending her summers pouring drinks and flirting with patrons at the local Renaissance Faire, she wants more out of life. Stacey vows to have her life figured out by the time her friends get hitched at Faire next summer. Maybe she'll even find The One. When Stacey imagined "The One," it never occurred to her that her summertime Faire fling, Dex MacLean, might fit the bill. While Dex is easy on the eyes onstage with his band The Dueling Kilts, Stacey has never felt an emotional connection with him. So when she receives a tender email from the typically monosyllabic hunk, she's not sure what to make of it. Faire returns to Willow Creek, and Stacey comes face-to-face with the man with whom she’s exchanged hundreds of online messages over the past nine months. To Stacey's shock, it isn't Dex—she's been falling in love with a man she barely knows.
