Four months after Mateo’s overdose, Vaeda Lewis is struggling with a failing marriage and career, while Mateo returns to New York sober and determined to leave their relationship behind.

Book overview

One More Dance Could Destroy Them Both.

 

Vaeda Lewis thought she could outdance her guilt, but four months after Mateo's overdose, her marriage is in ruins, her career is slipping, and her heart still aches for the man she left behind. No matter how many routines she perfects, how many smiles she fakes, nothing silences the rhythm of his name in her chest.

 

Mateo Sanchez has survived the darkest chapter of his life... barely. Back in New York, sober and scarred, he swears he's done chasing the woman who broke him, but when fate throws them together at Fusion Core Studio, the place that once bound them and then tore them apart, the past refuses to stay buried.

 

Every step reignites what they've tried to forget. Every touch burns through the walls they built. As old wounds resurface and new betrayals strike, love turns into a dangerous dance of obsession and forgiveness, passion and punishment.

 

Because in this world, control is only ever temporary and...

 

Surrender might be their only way out.
