Jessica Ann McKenzie--"Jam" to everyone in Honey Creek--has fulfilled
her dream of owning the best restaurant for miles around. Serving
candlelit dinners to every couple in town on Valentine's Day is a
reminder of another dream, one she's just about given up on. Until, that
very night, Sergeant Tucson Smith clambers out of the muddy river and
onto her land, bringing the promise of something they've both been
searching for.
When McCoy Mason crashes on Interstate 45, he doesn't just bust up his
Mustang, his leg, and his relationship. He also loses his prospects of a
job and apartment in Houston. Honey Creek, home to his estranged
grandfather, offers a temporary respite, a place to recover before
moving on again. After all, what permanent use could a town so
picture-perfect have for a man like him?
At sixty-seven, Charles H. Winston III lives by order and routine. One
of his most cherished rituals is a regular lunch date with three lovely
ladies at the Honey Creek Café, including the very proper Miss Lilly
Lambert. But it's not too late to surprise the whole town--or
himself--by seizing a chance for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. And
there's no better season than spring, when the warm breeze blowing in
from the Brazos River brings fresh hope and second chances to those who
need them most . . .
