You can meet one of the newest business owners who returned to her hometown to open up a second Color store. She started the business in Dallas but has returned to Magnolia Bay to help the city's failing economy and bring new life to it. She has a man in Dallas who wants to marry her but she isn't sure about marrying him because he was not her first love. When returning to Magnolia Bay, she reunites with Nick Chambers. Will her coming back home be a chance for the two of them to get back together and realize that they are meant to be together?

Ronni Melrose is brokenhearted. Her husband has died but his memory lives on. She remembers the good times she had with him but he has left a mess of finances. Ronni moves into Melrose Manor with her mother-in-law Claudia. Cole Barton is a nephew to Claudia but is more like a son to him. He wants to straighten out the financial mess that Claudia is found in. Would opening up a business in Magnolia Bay help the city's economy as well as be an answer to Claudia's problems?
