"A moving story"

Ten years have passed since then married couple Amy Parker and Sam Cutter set infernos in and out of the boudoir. However the blaze outside the bedroom destroyed their marriage as neither could cope with the heated fights.

In Forest Hills, Washington Sam is watching his niece eight years old Mariah Carson while her parents are away enjoying a three week cruise. He takes Mariah to the Amy Parker School of Dance where she is one of the most enthusiastic student "pearls". There he and Amy see each other for the first time since their marriage went up in flames. Both remain attracted to one another, but Amy fears combusting if she begins to see Sam. However, Sam knows that he still loves Amy and that he will anything to persuade her that he has changed from when he burned her heart.

Readers will enjoy this fabulous second chance at romance between the ballet school and hamburger joint owners. Along with a delightful support crew mostly made up of middle and grade school gems, fans receive an often amusing hot tale of love better with maturity.
