Publisher Description
Dance fever has hit Julianne's Cornish village with the announcement that popular competitive dance program 'Dance With Me' will be hosting its latest challenge near Ceffylgwyn.
In a bombshell revelation, the village's own police sergeant Charlie is among its latest and most unlikely of competitors. With his secret hobby now public knowledge, Charlie looks to his friends for practice-time encouragement—enlisting Julianne, Rosie, and Lorrie as his confidants and itinerant dance coaches.
Luckily for him, the village's school headmistress has credentials as a former dance coach for a failed girl's competitive team. But does Charlie really have what it takes to beat a roster of driven amateur hoofers—not to mention live down local gossip and teasing for a 'copper' in big boots waltzing his way to victory?
Julianne's sympathetic ear is being bent in another direction, however. Her friend Gemma is back in the village, and despite the pretense she's here to work on her latest novel, Gemma confesses a fancy that takes Julianne by surprise. Now she's begging Julianne for help—in attracting the notice of none other than Ben, the village's kindhearted and self-confessed nerdy schoolteacher.
Julianne does her best to help, but has her doubts as the plan—and Gemma's courage—are failing to launch. As Charlie's chances of victory hit a snag, and Kitty's woes with her newly-single mum continue to grow, Julianne learns that fickle judges and ever-changing odds are destined to heat up in the final days. Charlie is in need of luck—and Lorrie's best efforts. It's fun, suspense, and a burst of fame behind the latest quirky adventure for Julianne and her friends.
