Mathilda Landrey is determined to restore the family bookstore to its former glory. So what if she has more debt than a small country? It's the only thing she wants in life. That, and dancing the Argentine tango. But she'd rather stick a stiletto in her eye, than dance the lead in a tango performance group.
Thrust into the role opposite her teacher, Alejandro Garcia, Mathilda's safe little haven suddenly becomes Nightmare on Tango Street. When disaster strikes, she is torn between saving her family legacy or creating one of her own.
A decade after an accident that ended his chances at the world title, Alejandro is intent on making this performance the biggest event on the tango calendar. His reputation and livelihood depend on its success. No matter how alluring his dance partner is, Alejandro vowed long ago never to embroil love and tango.
When love dances into their hearts, Alejandro and Mathilda must quell her doubts, confront his demons and conquer their fears. Or burn the floor trying.
