Aruba & Memphis, Tennessee – Present Day

Former ballerina Lyric Taylor is gifted a weeklong trip to Aruba by her best friends, aka The Six Gems, after she went through a bad stretch. Even before she landed, she spotted the handsome man on the plane, and to her surprise, they're headed to the same exclusive resort. As Lyric checks in, she learns there is a mix-up in reservations, and she and the man have the same villa. Since it is a two-bedroom villa, they finally agree to share. They don’t have to run into each other, right? But before twenty-four hours are up, they are having steamy sex. What happens in Aruba stays there. Or so they think until they run into each other in Memphis afterward. 

Businessman and single father Devon Masters can’t afford to get involved with a woman right now as his little girl is his top priority. He figured he would never run into Lyric again, but after his sister enrolls his daughter in a ballerina class—against his better judgment—he discovers that the instructor is Lyric. The issue in his marriage to his now-deceased wife was that she worked as a dancer and was rarely home. So, there is no way he will get involved with a dancer again. But the sparks that flew between Lyric and Devon in Aruba still burn hot. 

An instant attraction brings together Lyric and Devon in GOING TOE TO TOE, but once they are back in their hometown, they will need to work hard to build a relationship. Lyric is adopted and had been lovingly raised by her adoptive parents. She was a professional ballerina, but her career got cut short after she got injured. With the encouragement of her friends, she opened the dance studio. During their affair in Aruba, they didn’t discuss much about their personal lives, so it is a surprise to both when Devon shows up at her dance studio. It takes a while before he opens up to Lyric about why he wasn’t happy to learn she was a dancer. 

Their relationship is up and down in GOING TOE TO TOE, and readers will wonder if they’ll ever get together. Meanwhile, Lyric meets her birth mother to understand why she was given up. Do things go the way she wants? Will her future include Devon and his daughter? Their romance is sizzling hot, and readers will root for them to make it all work out. Don’t miss their bumpy, yet fun, road to happiness. Be sure to pick up GOING TOE TO TOE.
