Esther and Lizzie, the widowed sisters who run the Peony Inn in the charming Amish community, have a unique talent for finding love for others. However, when a new tenant moves into a guest cottage at their inn, the sisters are in for a surprise. Dr. Benjamin Stoltzfus, a retired dentist, has signed a six-month lease at the cottage, and Esther and Lizzie find themselves in a surprising competition for his affections.

Dr. Stoltzfus doesn't appear to be Amish, but his last name and mysterious background have the sisters guessing. They are open to the possibility of finding love again, something that they thought was impossible after the loss of their husbands.

Things take a thrilling turn when Benjamin's granddaughter, Mindy, comes to visit. Mindy has left her big-city life in Texas to be closer to her grandfather and to embrace the simpler life she has longed for. However, she is unprepared for the unexpected romance that awaits her when an attractive young Amish man, Gabriel, runs his lawnmower right into her little red sports car.

Gabriel is charming, funny, and nice, and he spends time at the inn helping out the widows. As Mindy and Gabriel spend more time together, they forge a friendship and start making matchmaking plans of their own. They both realize that they have feelings for each other, but the question remains: can a romance between an Englisch girl and an Amish boy end well?

As Mindy and Gabriel continue to spend time together, they discover that they have a lot in common. They both share a love for the simple life, and they both have dreams of a future together. They start to wonder which sister would be better for Benjamin's grandfather, Esther or Lizzie.

Meanwhile, the two young people put their energy into playing Cupid, trying to match other people in the community with their perfect partners. They are successful in finding love for many of their friends and neighbors, but they are also facing challenges along the way.

As the novel comes to a close, Mindy and Gabriel must make a difficult decision. They must decide whether to pursue their romance or to respect the traditions and values of the Amish community. They ultimately choose to follow their hearts, and they are rewarded with a beautiful love story that ends with a happily ever after.
