Former Nashville guitarist Flynn Clinton, aka Flint, returns to
his small hometown as the new owner of a rundown coffee house.
He's looking to earn some much-needed cash, make a home for his
estranged sons and, possibly, find a new woman -- a quiet,
mousy, nurturing type, not another ambitious glam-girl like his
ex-wife.  Joella Sanderson, an outspoken waitress at Flint's
coffee house, has always had stardust in her eyes and music in
her soul. In her experience, male musicians are lying, cheating
scoundrels. So, when she meets Flint, she's sure he's the same.
But soon Jo and Flint discover they have more in common than
major trust issues. They both have a score to settle with a
common enemy -- but it's one that puts them on opposite sides of
the lawyer's table.  The author helps these characters grow and
battle their conflicts in a compelling way. The hero and
heroine, who begin as likable but seemingly simple protagonists,
become more sympathetic and complex as Rice's story progresses.
