Colorado Cabin in the Pines is a pretty normal pseudo triangle romance with a bit of second chance at love element. However, the solution was not dropped early enough, and the plot was becoming a trope.
To recap, Penny Anderson was raised in the small town of Peakview CO, and she had imagined a life with Luke Walker in town, on Walker Horse Ranch, and Luke even promised to build a cabin. But she left town, went to Chicago and school, and became a city girl, leaving Luke sulking in town. Years later, Penny is back in town, taking a vacation before the school year starts after she got her degree in education... and going back to her fiancee, Brian, who was nice to her, but there's none of that spark that she always had with Luke. But Penny's passion was helping kids... and she can't do that in town. Luke can never leave the town, and he's really building that cabin in the pines by himself, so he's staying away from Penny as she's inevitably leaving. Is there a way to give them both what they wanted?
The trope here you can probably see coming but I'll mark it with a SPOILER nonetheless.
SPOILER WARNING
Brian came looking for Penny, and Penny finally saw Brian in the real light: he's a city snob that did not appreciate her hometown at all, and Brian wasn't even that nice to her. When Penny discovered there's a kid's camp (even has horses) nearby and they are willing to take her on as a paid position, she's not going back to the city.
This is a pretty standard plot, though it's decently polished.
