Wrong Footing

In swing dancing, wrong footing means your partner leads you off-balance. In life, it can be deadly.

Victoria Rutherford thought she'd moved on-new career, new confidence, and a fresh start after her divorce. Then a random dance pairing at The Gilded Age puts her in the arms of Cayle Walton, the man her family forced her to abandon twenty years ago.

Their chemistry is undeniable. Their families' hatred is absolute.

As Victoria and Cayle navigate secret practice sessions and a high-stakes competition, a true crime podcast exposes a forty-year-old murder. With each episode, the past closes in-and not everyone wants it to surface.

Now Victoria must choose: the safe life her parents demand, or the dangerous truth that might destroy them all.

A second-chance romance where every step could be your last.

A romantic suspense featuring:

• Second-chance romance (eighteen years is a long time to carry a torch)
• Enemies-adjacent families with secrets worth killing for
• Forced proximity on the dance floor
• A true crime podcast that won't let the past stay buried
• Small-town charm with a very dark underbelly
• Single parents doing their best while falling apart
• Slow burn that ignites at the worst possible moment
• A villain whose grief you'll understand even as you fear her
• Perfect for fans of Toni Anderson, Laura Griffin, and Brenda Novak
