Rachel has just lost her husband when Tommy Lee walks back into her life in Russellville, Alabama. She represents everything refined in their small town. He carries a reputation as the local troublemaker with three failed marriages and a trail of broken relationships behind him. Twenty four years ago they were high school sweethearts whose young love couldn't survive its own intensity. Now Rachel must decide whether to risk everything for the man who still ignites her passion like no other. The townspeople whisper that Tommy Lee will never change his wild ways. Rachel sees something different in him, something that suggests their second chance might succeed where their first attempt failed. She weighs her social standing against the pull of her heart, knowing that choosing Tommy Lee means facing local gossip and her own doubts about whether love can truly conquer their differences.
