In the dusty heart of the Wild West, the Everett family navigates the tumultuous waters of love, duty, and survival. Set against the backdrop of a thriving frontier town, First Impressions follows the lives of five spirited sisters and their determined mother, whose singular goal is to see her daughters well married.

When a devastating fire in a nearby settlement sends a wave of eligible bachelors their way, Mrs. Everett sees a golden opportunity for her daughters, especially the older two, Rose and Ruth. Rose, with her rosy cheeks and gentle disposition, effortlessly manages the tea parlor, while Ruth, with her dark hair and stern brow, is her father's right hand in the family's store. The younger sisters, Ethel, Effie, and Minnie, each add their own unique charm and challenges to the Everett household.

As the town prepares for the annual May Day dance, tensions rise and hopes soar. Rose and Ruth find themselves at the center of their mother's matchmaking schemes, all while balancing their own dreams and desires. The arrival of new men stirs the pot, bringing unexpected romance, rivalry, and revelations.

In a tale rich with frontier spirit, "First Impressions" explores the complexities of family bonds, the pursuit of love, and the strength of women determined to carve out their own destinies. Will the Everett sisters find true love, or will their mother's ambitions lead them down a path of heartbreak?

Join the Everett family in this captivating story of resilience and romance, where first impressions can change the trajectory of every relationship.

A spontaneous coffee trip has her heart thumping, shattering, and aching in a whirlwind of emotions after coming face to face with him. He makes her panties wet, but her body sweat with panic.

"I wanted you Lily Rose. You were all I ever wanted. You were the girl I loved." Wanted, loved. Past tense, in the past. No more. He didn't love her anymore. It had hurt her. He had hurt her. Just like she had hurt him by denying her love for him. "I'm sorry, Daniel," she whispered as he began to wrap his arms around her. It gave her no comfort. No peace. Suddenly she realized, that all the good things that she had gone through, all the happiness and sunshine was false. False hope because in the end no matter how hard she tried, the fate in store for her sister wouldn't be stopped by the hope that maybe tomorrow would be a better day. Deep down she loved him. Whether he still loved her or not she loved him. Looking up at him with sad eyes she said, "I could never hate you." He offered a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Good," he offered, "because I don't think I can be your punching bag again." She smiled up at him before she wrapped her arms around him and they held each other for a long time. Lily Gilbert is small town girl from Idaho. She's bright, caring, and loyal to a fault. Life was pleasant for her, but things escalated quickly when her younger sister, Tami, was diagnosed with leukemia. From then on, nothing is the same anymore. Lily knows that Tami's one wish is to see the rodeo cowboy again from so many years ago. Lily also knows that Tami is desperately in love with him. What she doesn't know is that the cowboy her sister loves is the man that has been searching for Lily his whole life. Only one question remains. How can Lily choose one of them without breaking someone's heart?
