Once bitten, twice shy...

Monty Chapman returns to Polson's Crossing, Texas, claiming to be a changed man now that he's a Christian. While continuing to work as a song-writer, he dreams of establishing a rescue mission. More than anything, Monty longs to put his family back together. Can he overcome the shady reputation he earned in his home town and persuade the love of his life to give him another chance?

Lacy Chapman was devastated when Monty deserted her to pursue a career in music, but that was ten years ago. Now her life consists of running Pearl's Roadhouse and taking care of her teen-aged daughters. As others begin to accept Monty's new-found piety, Lacy remains unconvinced. She is certain he has come home to take the Roadhouse away from her. This charming rogue broke her heart once, and she does not intend to let him do it again.
