Why these tropes fit

In small-town Buffalo Valley, North Dakota, Maddy Washburn relocates to join her married best friend Lindsay Snyder, hoping to find the same love and satisfaction Lindsay found with farmer Gage Sinclair. There she meets Jeb McKenna, a solitary rancher who has learned to endure life's hardships alone. Though drawn to his quiet strength, Maddy faces Jeb's repeated rejection of her overtures—until one of North Dakota's deadly storms traps them together for several days and nights. That forced proximity produces unexpected consequences for both of them, rippling outward to affect everyone in the tight-knit community of Buffalo Valley.
