NEW LOOK--TEXAS STYLE! Crystal Creek...where power and influence live in the land, and in the hands of one family determined to nourish old Texas fortunes and forge new Texas futures. APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING Rancher Brock Munroe is smitten with Amanda Walker. But he hates what she does for a living. Amanda is a personal shopper. To Brock it's a ridiculous career. Still, Brock can't quite figure this lady out. It seems that with Amanda what you see is much less than what you get.

Tongues are wagging! Bubba Gibson's little princess is back in town - all grown up, and her marriage in tatters. Not so high-and-mighty now, they're saying. Imagine Sara Gibson scrubbing rooms at a local motel! And after twenty-odd years, Mr. Chip-on-his-shoulder, Warren Trent, has the nerve to show his face again. He's up to no good at the old Swanson barn, for sure. Whatever can Sara be thinking of, hanging around the man all of Crystal Creek loves to hate?

SOMEONE WAS WATCHING ... It was love at first sight when Lisa Croft arrived in Crystal Creek. Cynthia, Virginia and Lettie Mae figured they'd been blessed with the best mother's helper in the state of Texas. And Tony Rodriguez, the new veterinary assistant, was instantly smitten! J.T. alone knew the terrors of Lisa's past --- a past that threatened the happiness and security of those he held dear. He foresaw Lisa's fate, and he aimed to meet it head-on.

THERE WERE SOME THINGS A WOMAN JUST DIDN'T DO! — Amanda envisioned so many special items to buy, little touches to add, to make the Double Bar ranch house uniquely hers and Brock's. But how could she continue to make costly decorating investments when she and Brock still weren't married, and there was no sign that they were ever going to be? His dreadful aunt Millie did have a point. The man was almost forty years old. If he was as in love with her as he said, why wouldn't he marry her?

Isabel Delgado has to fake her own death in order to get away from her vengeful husband. But when her plan goes awry, she finds herself stranded in Crystal Creek and in more danger than ever. Then rancher Dan Gibson has an idea -- marry him. Dan needs help raising his three small kids, and Isabel needs a new identity. Perfect! Except Isabel's feelings for Dan -- and his for her -- could put them both in a different kind of danger.
