When Texas architect Lise Gentry arrives to oversee renovations to several deteriorating buildings in Latagnier, Louisiana, she finds the newly elected mayor is none other than the architect her firm competed against for the contract. And he holds the power to veto her plans. Ted Breaux is dedicated to restoring and preserving the nineteenth-century structures his ancestors helped build. But the lady architect from Texas intends to raze historical structures to make way for businesses the small town doesn't need. Will the architects' vastly different visions lead to destruction?

Then an accident changed her life and she found she really had - not much of anything. She returns home to Latagnier, Louisiana, hoping to rest and reevaluate her life. Bobby Tratelli has also found himself at a crossroads. His daughter is getting married, his business is doing well, but somehow, his busy life is empty. Then suddenly he's in charge of the wedding - just one month away. In a panic, he runs to an old friend - and ends up finding his first love. Can Bobby see beyond the regrets of the past to the promise of the future?

Encouraged by Miss Nell's pure and undefiled religion, Sophie now finds herself the adopted mother of twin girls, loving the bayou, and enjoying her life...until Nell's \"grandson\" shows up, determined to put her and her girls out of his grandmother's house. Major Ezra Landry knows a scam when he sees one. Surely that's all Sophie Comeaux is out to do - trick his sweet granny into caring for her and her kids.
