Author Description

A spicy-sweet island romance from the award-winning author of Sailing into the Heart and Midnight Beacon! They say good dance partners make the best lovers, especially when they start as enemies... Career-focused prosecutor Mila St. James doesn't dance. Nor does she break the rules. She works. Hard. And she's spent the last few months prepping for the biggest hearing of her career. The one thing she doesn't anticipate is the public opposition. She gets her first taste in court, leaving her in a state of humiliation as she storms out--right into the incredibly sexy Sergio Gomez--one of the staunchest opponents of the case that could make or break Mila's career. Also known as the "Playboy Fisherman," the musician and former professional soccer player is actually a sensitive soul who keeps his family's restaurant afloat by catching fish with his rooster friend. While Sergio and Mila are stuck together overnight riding out a treacherous storm, he glimpses the truth beneath her tough exterior. Now he just wants to convince her to let him be the exception to all of her carefully crafted rules. But when Sergio's named as the primary suspect in her case's criminal investigation, Mila must decide whether to risk her career to save him. Can their budding love weather his secrets, the storm's aftermath, and this tango of the heart? Or will jealousy, betrayal, and conflicts of interest tear them apart? Set on the beautiful island of St. Croix, Slow Dancing in a Black Storm is book two in the St. James Sisters interracial romance collection.
