Newly retired bull rider Bodey Landrum figures to settle down on his ranch and raise a family. But his ideal woman is still Eve Burns, the convent-schooled girl who snubbed him way back when. The last place he expects to find her is waiting tables in their hometown of Rainbow, Louisiana. After school, Eve put her dreams of being an artist on hold to care for her dying mother. Now she's working three jobs to pay off medical bills. When Bodey walks back into her life, he makes her heart pound just like he did when they were teenagers, but they're still worlds apart. Everyone warns Bodey that Eve is his complete opposite. Only a miracle could bring them together. But Rainbow is known for small miracles, and Bodey never backs away from a challenge. Maybe Eve is hoping he won't give up so easily this time around.
