The Dance

Kimberly R. Vargas

Heartbreak cracks her open. Dance puts her back together. When Laura's husband leaves her for the local weather girl, she doesn't just lose her man. She loses the life she built around him. She gave him everything: her time, her body, her dreams. Now he's just trading her in for a younger model? She has to fix this. Fix herself. Still caught in an estranged marriage she refuses to release, Laura signs up for a cardio hip hop class, determined to remind her husband of what they had. She expects sweat and sore muscles. What she gets is Roman Graham, a gritty, magnetic fitness trainer who doesn't apologize or pull punches. Laura's direct opposite in every way, yet impossible to ignore. What begins as a feisty dance-off turns into a slow burn partnership charged with undeniable coach client tension, intimate conversation, and steamy dance routines that push Laura past her limits. Each step forces her to confront her doubts, her desires, and what it truly means to take up space as a plus size woman. And somewhere between the music and the movement, she starts falling for the one man she thought she hated. But just as she begins starting over, the past slips back in, uninvited and haunting. Now Laura must decide what she's really fighting for: the marriage that broke her, or the woman she's becoming?
