Dance With Me

My name is Skye. Sydney is my twin, a lovely, svelte, talented singer and dancer. We're supposed to be identical, but somehow, I'm lumpy, large, and clumsy. Sydney's six brawny and gorgeous male backup singers/dancers treat me like their little sister, but I've loved one of them since I was seventeen, when I first met Sheacht, their group. Today, I'm the act's lawyer—a twenty-four-year-old virgin who can't admit my feelings to the man who raises such impossible emotions in me.

When we get together for a contract update, I promise myself I'll tell him the truth. But as soon as I see him, I know I'll never have the courage. I'm afraid he'll give me a brotherly hug, or worse, he'll try to hide his disgust, and my shame will force me to once again slink away. The day after I arrive, something crazy happens. In a clandestine and unexpectedly erotic way, I discover one of the men has been hiding deep feelings for me as long as he's known me. And I don't know which man he is; he's keeping his identity a secret because of my twin's crazy jealousy over her partners. I can't believe him…but he's so persuasive, so insistent that I'm beautiful, that I can't help but fall into his arms, caught up in his skillful lovemaking. As my relationship with the mystery man blossoms, I realize I'm falling in love with him despite my internal conflict--am I betraying the one I've loved for so long? Given my luck, they won't be the same man. When circumstances force my enigmatic lover to reveal himself to me, our relationship flourishes. But my happiness is rocked when it becomes apparent that someone in the house is deliberately causing discord among us, leading to arguments and even fights. Is someone trying to break my lover and me up, or do they want to see the end of Sheacht? It's difficult to know who to trust, but especially my twin, who has inexplicably become cruel and vicious to me. How can someone among my family and dear friends be an enemy, one who seems to have no motive but is determined to tear down more than one future? If I can't figure out who, in a once-happy group of people, is determined to tear apart relationships, both business and personal, I might never find the happiness I've sought for seven years.
