Embarking on a new adventure, piano teacher MELODY WINTERS must reinvent herself. With the help of TROOPER RANDY STONE, she sets up house in his old fishing shack in Malta, Ohio, and finds a job in Hank's Diner. Although Randy has figured out who she is and how much danger she's in, nobody else must know. So she lives completely off the grid. Disguising herself everywhere she goes, she exists on several identities. One is for work, hiding in the back of Hank's Diner and cooking up a storm. One is at the local karaoke club where she dresses dark with her hair slicked back. And the other is closer to home as a piano teacher filling in for the pianist at the local church. But one fateful day, a local tragedy brings all her identities to the surface and there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on who you ask, detective MIKE SHIELDS comes back in her life just in time. But he's controlling and bossy and annoying. Does she really want to dredge up the past and get back in a relationship with him? Still in danger, she is forced to follow him on a cattle drive in Texas where she meets his cousin CINCO, a rich Tex/Mex rancher with his own tragic past who falls madly in love with her. Their whirlwind romance is marred by assassins that continue to find her, putting his family in danger.
