It takes two to tango, but Rose Vasquez hasn't felt like dancing since her husband died. For her little girl's sake, she's determined to make a new life in warm, friendly Hot Pepper, Louisiana. But something strange and wonderful is happening in the dance studio she just bought, where her latest student is--literally --sweeping her off her feet. Being groomed to someday take over his family's banking business is one thing, but performing the tango at this year's Miss Hot Pepper Pageant could be Dalton Montgomery's greatest challenge. Especially when his alluring teacher and her irresistible daughter show him what's been missing in his bachelor world. Now he'd like to return the favor by filling Rose's dance card and becoming her partner--for keeps. But is Rose ready to let another man into her life? Dalton hopes so, because he's not willing to sit this one out
In Hot Pepper, Louisiana, newly elected president of the local Chamber of Commerce Dalton Montgomery looks forward to the work although he knows most of the locals will measure him against his father, president of the local bank. That comparison is fine as far as Dalton is concerned as he looks up to his dad. Only one thing disturbs him is that his first test is dancing a tango with Miss Hot Pepper; Dalton knows he cannot dance. He needs lessons so he does not make complete fool of himself or step all over his partner's toes as he insists his prom date from fifteen years ago still limps. He goes to the new dance studio opened up by newcomer widow Rose Vasquez. As she teaches him to tango, they fall in love, but Rose's first concern remains her young daughter Anna and not a second chance at love. DANCING WITH DALTON is a fun contemporary tale that uses dancing to set the stage for romancing. Neither Dalton nor Rose wanted love at this time, but both are attracted to one another from the first step. Contemporary romance readers will want to join the lead couple as they dance to the tango of love. Harriet Klausner
