1995. Annie Blackwell works at a small-town bar to earn money for college. She lives a free, happy, normal life, surrounded by friends who are more like family, and enjoys the simple pleasures a small town offers. Then she meets James, who is in town for a few months working on the new pipeline. Ruggedly handsome with red hair and blue eyes, Annie knows he's just passing through. She knows she shouldn't fall in love with someone who won't stick around. She knows a million reasons she should just walk away. But the heart rarely listens to reason. Annie fell; and she fell hard. James left a few months later, leaving her with more than a broken heart. Will fate offer Annie a second chance at love? Or is that just a Pipe Dream?
