From Alexis Daria, author of the award-winning international bestseller You Had Me at Hola, comes a sizzling spinoff series set in the world of The Dance Off.

Professional dancer Natasha Díaz is broke, overworked, and in need of a place to crash. She’s just desperate enough to move in with the one guy she can’t quit: Dimitri Kovalenko. The only problem? He’s a judge on The Dance Off and backstage romances are strictly forbidden.

For three years, Dimitri has longed to be more than coworkers-with-benefits, and this is his chance to sweep Natasha off her feet. But when a producer threatens to expose their secret living arrangement, will they find the strength to salsa into the spotlight together? Or will this be their last dance?

This book was previously published as part of the Dance Off series. The text has been revised and updated.
