Release Date: January 1, 2024

About The Book:

Journalist Jade is determined to write a career-defining article. Her dance instructor Anton wants to know who killed his fiancée. Caught between the glamorous world of ballroom dance and Anton’s dark past in the Valencio crime family, can they solve the murder before they become the next targets?

Anton’s sister, desperate to protect family secrets, tries to stop the investigation. The siblings are on a collision course, challenging the Valencio maxim: loyalty to family no matter what.

“A riveting mystery spanning Houston and New Orleans that doesn’t let up the pace.” Sarah Hawthorn, author of The Dilemma

About The Author:

Andrea, author and fiction editor, runs the book editing company Brightside Story Studio.

She has also co-authored/edited two anthologies about expatriate life. The Godfather of Dance is her first novel.

Along the way, she developed a passion for ballroom and Latin dance, helped to build a school, got bogged in both the Qatari and Australian deserts and had an accidental hallucinogenic experience in Peru.

“A riveting mystery spanning Houston and New Orleans that doesn’t let up the pace.” – Sarah Hawthorn, author of The Dilemma

“A new heroine to fall in love with.”– Bella Ellwood Clayton/author of Weekend Friends

“The tension. The pace. Excellent. A definite page turner. Finished it after midnight.” – Lisa Heidke (Darcy)/author of Should You Keep a Secret?

“A compelling story, with many twists and surprises, driven by sharply drawn characters who keep revealing new aspects to themselves.” – Nadine Davidoff/Editor

“I thoroughly enjoyed this story—it has an absolutely cracking pace, so many fabulous twists, and a female lead I could relate to. Andrea hooked me and just when I thought the pressure was easing, she added some more.” – Kate Murdoch/author of Stone Circle

“Edge of your seat reading.” – Sue Anderson/Editorial Head NAC

“The author’s descriptions are terrific. As the action moves from one city to the next, there is a palpable sense of place. The everyday choreography of people moving around a space is well executed, particularly the dance sequences which show specialized knowledge of this field. Similes and analogies, too, often produced great visual imagery. It’s a cracking read—fast paced. Never a dull moment!” – Diane Clarke/author
