About This Book
Ballerina Leslie Ann Moose was raised under the weight of her family's mantra—"Do your best. Be the best. Whatever it takes." Leslie has always chased excellence. But as the dream of a ballet career fades, she embraces a second chance with unwavering resolve. Pursuing theater, she embarks on a journey from bustling New York City to a tranquil Upstate town, unaware it will reunite her with a lost love from drama camp.
The thought of working with Leslie again sends chills down musical director Josh deChambeau's spine. Her sudden departure all those years ago shattered his heart, and now, as fate throws them back together, he must confront the pain of their past. The success of The Edison Theater hinges on their collaboration, demanding Josh set aside his bitterness for a dream long deferred.
Amidst the theater's chaos, Leslie and Josh must find common ground. As they grapple with shared history and simmering chemistry, they learn that love deserves a second act in the spotlight, whatever it takes.

About This Book
Leslie:
Do your best. Be the best. Whatever it takes.
It sounds like a line from some superhero movie, not a family motto. Except it is the Moose family creed. We even have it on T-shirts. Snazzy apparel aside, it means I've grown up with a lot of pressure to, well, be the best.
Except I'm not. No matter how hard I've worked, it's time to face the fact that I'm never going to have a career as a professional ballerina. I'll do the next best thing—I can dance in the theatre. Thanks to that eight-week drama camp when I was a teenager, as well as a stubborn-to-the-point-of-foolish drive, I'm ready to take on this challenge, even if it means moving from New York City to a small Upstate town. Especially if it means I get to be reunited with the boy I fell in love with at that camp….
Josh:
Oh no. I'm not working with her.
She broke my heart, ghosting me after the most incredible summer together. But now, here she is, and we need her to make The Edison successful. The stakes are high, and if this show works out, there's a shot I'll finally get my chance to bring the production I've been writing ever since she left me to the stage.
The show must go on. Whatever it takes.
USA Today best-selling author Kathryn R. Biel takes you back to The Edison Theater for Act Three in this powerful and moving tale of second chance love and finally loving yourself.
