| Growing up Michelle Venters was not always accepted in her town. In spite of that, Darin Greene, the "perfect boy" and son of a wealthy family, was her best friend and secret crush. Now years later, she has made her own way in life and no longer is just Michelle; she is 'Flame' - the best selling author and celebrity. But something is missing from her life, something that she had never thought to have again after everything was irrevocably changed 2 years prior by a drunk-driver. That was the night her husband died. And now Darin comes back in her life.
Darin Greene was surprised to see his best friend from school shopping at a local mall. His life has not been perfect and he is a wounded soul, but something about Michelle always eased part of him. His long-term girlfriend, Sandy, is becoming a bit obsessive and getting on his nerves with all of her talk of marriage. Even though no one, including Sandy or his mother, are listening to him about the fact that the last thing he is contemplating is spending the rest of his life with Sandy… or anyone for that matter. When Michelle enters his life again, she shows him everything he has missed - acceptance of his job, acceptance of himself, and love. But can he accept her lesson with an open heart or will he run from what he thinks love is? Suddenly Michelle's celebrity brings out a stalker of the worst sort. Her life is endangered; her world is turned upside down with fear. Will she survive her worst nightmare? Or will it scare off Darin forever? Ms. Moore weaves a full tale of suspense and intrigue balanced with love. Michelle has dealt with blows that would fall normal women, but instead of drowning in sorrow, she fights back and has learned to live life. Darin is everything a woman would want, but he is afraid of the very thing Michelle can bring him: love and happiness. A very emotionally stirring and exciting tale.
