Dixie Mason has never left the small Georgia town she was born in, though it's not for lack of desire. The people there are as small-minded as the days are sweltering, and she works two jobs just so she might one day be able to start over elsewhere. Maverick and Lance have set up their woodworking shop in Alliance so they can take advantage of its blue-collar demographic. Will these two newcomers bring Dixie nothing but the same old grief, or will they teach her a lesson in carnal desire?
