It had been a whirlwind of change from a year ago for Pierre Jackson ... on track to becoming a chef extraordinaire, living it up in a plush up-town condo that he shared with his successful and debonair fianc , De'Andre Harris, the world's hottest news anchor, Pierre thought he had his future all mapped out. He hadn't imagined that he'd be alone, in between jobs, lose his passion for cooking, living in a run-down apartment, and entertaining the thought of having to share space with a stranger. That is, until he received a phone call from his best friend asking for a huge favor. If that wasn't enough, he's beckoned home to deal with a death in the family, and having to travel to a far away land, a place from his distant past, a place of faint memories of an unaccustomed culture, tropical heat and the sweet scent of mangoes.
