Keisha Garcia has always lived for ballet-but after a painful heartbreak and years of self-doubt, she makes a promise to herself: in the city, she'll start over. No distractions. No romance. Just her craft, her future, and the version of herself she's been too afraid to chase.
At Hartwell Academy, one of the most prestigious dance schools in the country, Keisha finds herself challenged in every way. The pressure is intense, the competition is fierce, and her past still echoes in quiet moments. But in the mirrors of the studio and the chaos of the city, Keisha begins to find more than just technique-she finds resilience, joy, and unexpected friendship.
But... who knows, maybe she might find love in the city. There are so many events that will unexpectedly occur.

And didn't let go.... When a salsa class throws two stubborn women into each other's rhythm, the sparks fly, the friends meddle, and the footwork gets a whole lot more complicated.
