What if you and only one other person know what your pen name means? Jennifer Holmes, award winning poet, has too many men in her life. Her ex-husband is trying to convince her to remarry him. Her boss is becoming more affectionate. Then a past-tense neighbor who was president of her critique club, is the replacement speaker at the writers' conference she's attending. Dr. Michael Anderson's pen name for his best selling novel is Mick H. Chance. Only her agent knows that Jenny's pen name is Mandy H. Chapman. Only Mike and Jenny know what M.H.C. really means. Does Jenny want to fan the embers of an unforgettable relationship? Following dangerous demonstrations, the deaths of a child and a friend, rape, and an airplane crash, Jenny and Mike decide to tell their family, friends and the media the meaning of their pseudonyms.
