"He reminds me too much of Sammy" Luke is the new student, coming in from Scotland. He is starting third year at the National Academy of Dance. The year after Samuel Lieberman died.

After the Nutcracker, Christian was the first on her mind. Shouldn't he be the first in her heart as well? Christian and Tara go back, to the outback to help her family over the break. Together, they deal with crazy family members, lots of work and missing dance. Could they end up rekindling their relationship?

Tara Webster. When she was only eleven, her house caught on fire in the middle of the night. Burning down her house and killing her parents. But what haunted Tara the most? The fact that is was her straightner that was left on that caused the fire. Knowing that fact, Tara chose never to speak again... Five years later, after being moved from family member to family member; a copy of her mother's will turned up, naming her guardian as Trisha Reed. There was only one problem with that, she had died the year Tara turned ten... Christian Reed. When he found out that some girl was going to be living with his already broken family and sharing his bedroom, he was less then thrilled to say the least. That is until said girl, wormed her way into his heart without even saying a single word. Now with the help of his family and friends from the academy, can Christian show her that there is some good in this world (Even if he doesn't believe it himself) and speak for the first time in six years? Or will she be forever mute?
