About This Book
From Alexis Daria, USA Today bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola, comes a “very spicy” (Cosmopolitan) romance set against the backdrop of a reality dance competition.
After four lackluster seasons on The Dance Off, Gina Morales is determined to make it to the finals this time. When she’s whisked off to the wilds of Alaska to meet her new celebrity partner, she prays for a winter Olympian. Instead, she gets Stone Nielson, a strong, silent—and ridiculously sexy—survivalist. Except her producers want to set them up as a showmance, which is the one thing Gina won’t do to win.
Stone dreads relocating to Los Angeles almost as much as he fears revealing the truth behind his family’s own hit show, Living Wild. But his vivacious dance partner drags him out of his shell, and soon, Stone will do anything to help Gina reach her goals—even burlesque. Try as they might to hide their developing romance, Gina and Stone’s explosive chemistry on and off the dance floor is unmistakable. With the spotlight threatening to expose all their secrets, they’ll have to decide if the real prize is the trophy, or a shot at true love.

About This Book
From Alexis Daria, author of the international bestseller You Had Me at Hola, comes a fun, sexy romance set against a reality dance show.
Gina Morales wants to make it big. In her four seasons on The Dance Off, she's never even made it to the finals. But her latest partner, the sexy star of an Alaskan wilderness show, could be her chance. Who knew the strong, silent, survivalist-type had moves like that? She thinks Stone Nielson is her ticket to win it all—until her producer makes it clear they're being set up for a showmance.
Joining a celebrity dance competition is the last thing Stone wants. However, he'll endure anything to help his family, even as he fears revealing their secrets. While the fast pace of Los Angeles makes him long for the peace and privacy of home, he can't hide his growing attraction for his dance partner. Neither wants to fake a romance for the cameras, but the explosive chemistry that flares between them is undeniable.
As Stone and Gina heat up the dance floor, the tabloids catch on to their developing romance. With the spotlight threatening to ruin everything, will they choose fame and fortune, or let love take the lead?
Contains mature themes.
