About this series
Melina Cherkasov, a former ballroom and Latin champion finds out her famous husband is cheating via a smarmy tabloid TV reporter and it leaves her devastated.
But she’s not only devastated, Mel’s flat broke thanks to a prenup she signed over twenty years ago. With nowhere to turn, she takes her dog and her entire life back to her dad and his retirement community in New Jersey.
Desperate to make ends meet, she takes a job at the prestigious Westmeyer—an expensive, private all-male school for geniuses where her job is to teach a bunch of reluctant preteens how to waltz when they‘d much rather be studying quantum physics.
Enter Drew McPhee, sexy father of one boy genius and handyman at the school. He’s not thrilled his son’s taking dancing lessons, but it’s not for the reasons you think. He wants Nate to focus on his studies, not learn to dance a waltz. In fact, he’s not a fan of dancing as a general rule. Yet, the beautiful new dance teacher has him rethinking his stance on a cha-cha.
However, Drew and Mel are polar opposites, but they do have one thing in common--they have pasts littered with heartache and a hot physical attraction that could set any dance floor on fire.
When their worlds collide, they have to decide if they have what it takes to waltz their way to forever!

1
From pampered to pauper… Maxine Cambridge, former high school beauty queen turned trophy wife, has officially been traded in for a newer, younger model. From a mini-mansion to her mother's eight hundred square foot retirement village, Maxine and her teenage son Connor are left with nothing and life is looking pretty bleak for this one-time rich girl. Maxine hasn't worked in twenty years at being anything more than her very rich, very-soon-to-be-ex-husband's eye candy and a stay-at-home-mom. She doesn't know the first thing about making a livable income, but she's going to find out as she scoops poop and hosts bingo night at her mother's village to earn some cash. In the midst of fighting her mad insecurities, getting her footing while wearing her mother's hand me downs, and desperately looking for a way to support herself and her son, in walks Campbell Barker--former high school classmate--a one-time geek turned total smoke show. Campbell gives her glimpses of who she used to be before she became someone's dress up doll. Before she was a neurotic, conclusion hopping mess. Before she lived in a world that revolved around someone else's opinion of her and he refuses to believe she's no longer the vivacious, smart girl he once had a major crush on. But the harder she fights the notion that the old Max is gone, the more she finds herself again and now she's ready to take back what was once hers and fight for her new life! *Not intended for readers under the age of 18. *Previously Published: (2020) Dakota Cassidy | (2010) Berkley Publishing Ex-Trophy Wives series by Dakota Cassidy 1.
