Lily graduates from college and her life falls apart - or at least that's how it feels.
Within a day, Lily a) leaves the comfort of campus with a degree that doesn't guarantee her a job, b) breaks up with her boyfriend, Colin and c) moves back home for the foreseeable future.
She's in a dead end. She's in a rut. She's not in any position to meet Diego in at the Highland Mountain House during a week-long tango vacation with her mom, but that said, when is anyone really ready to meet the love of their lives?
Especially if the love of their lives isn't anything like what they'd expected? Not the strait-laced, bank-bound Colin but Diego, who lives at his family's hotel and teaches dance? Who's older and has a beard and a whole lot of baggage?
But in this hour, Lily doesn't know about any of this happening yet. She's just getting in the car that will lead her to her future. Let's follow along.

JUST CREEPIN'
"What's wrong ma?" He questioned after a few seconds when she didn't respond to him. "Do you plan on having sex with me." She rested her chin on her knees that were pulled up to her chest. "Why?" He laughed slightly. In a way, he liked watching her struggle to maintain her composure. Jourie loved sex. "Cause I want you to fuck me on the balcony." She smiled softly. --- Jourie had been set up since before she was even thought of. With a mother who owned hair salons, a father who owned auto repair shops, both being scattered all over the map in different locations, and a large family that loves her and vice versa, she had anything a girl could ever wish for and more. She lacked the stereotypical bubbly personality that people assumed came with her and the higher hierarchy status she possessed. Still, she was nothing far from normal.Determined to make her parents proud, jourie always stayed on her best behavior. Straying far away from trouble. Like a record scratching, her life is brought to a halt when jourie has no choice but to face trouble coming for her head on when a new love interest finds a way to creep into her heart. With a strong built family, she learns even the ones who don't share the blood are the closest thing to family you have. So will jourie allow her new and forbidden love interest to shatter the strong built relationship she has with her family, or will her love interest beat her to the catch and do it for her?

The Cost of Wanting You
Bree never planned on becoming a dancer-especially not at one of the busiest clubs in the city. Filling in for just one night was supposed to be temporary, but one performance on stage turns into something more when she realizes how much money-and attention-comes with it. Navigating smoky rooms, flashing lights, and the dangerous game of seduction, Bree is thrown into a world of secrets, competition, and temptation. But when Bryson, a smooth-talking charmer, and Cortez, his cold, commanding best friend, both enter her orbit, the nights at the club suddenly feel a lot more complicated. Caught between proving she belongs, keeping her confidence intact, and figuring out what she really wants, Bree learns fast that in this business every move is a performance-on and off the stage. A story of temptation, control, and discovering power in unexpected places.
