Plot Synopsis

Unlucky at love, Claire Richards is a young bakery owner who firmly believes finding romance is a feat best left to chance and destiny. However, Claire's controlling mother Helen has other ideas. Wanting a happy relationship for her beautiful single daughter, Helen devotes herself to playing matchmaker and finding her the perfect man. With her business in danger of going under, Claire tells Helen that saving the bakery is her main priority and asks her to stop meddling in her life. Making it seem like an act of fate, Helen deceives Claire by moving forward with a plan to fix her up with Dr. Eric Carlton, a handsome pediatrician and all-around good catch. Sparks immediately fly between them, and everything goes according to plan. That is, until Eric falls head over heels in love, and becomes increasingly uncomfortable deceiving Claire by not sharing the truth about how they met. When Helen finally confesses that Claire's introduction to Eric was a setup, not an act of fate, Claire feels betrayed and abruptly breaks up with Eric. As she hopes a mysterious restaurant critic will help save her bakery, and wonders if Helen will ever stop interfering in her life, she must decide if she's willing to make her own destiny by learning to trust again and giving love another chance.
