Overview

What happens when a tough-as-nails hockey star finds himself dancing to an entirely new tune?

Gabriel is burned out. After enduring the most grueling hockey season of his life, he’s desperate for some peace. His sister’s solution? A cruise vacation she promises will help him recharge. Gabriel has been counting the days, imagining nothing but sunny skies, relaxation, and maybe even a little romance.

What he didn’t imagine was being paired with his sister’s best friend—a tall, lean man with a straw-blond beard, vibrant clothes, a sharp wit, and lips that seem to hold a secret smile just for him.

To make things more awkward (or intriguing?), his sister has signed them up for daily tango lessons—four hours of close-contact, toe-stepping intimacy. For Gabriel, a guy used to holding hockey sticks instead of a partner’s waist, the prospect is equal parts mortifying and unexpectedly thrilling.

As they navigate the dance floor, Gabriel begins to realize that some of his assumptions about himself might not hold up. Because in tango—and in life—it takes two.
