Publisher Description
Filled with scenes of sizzling passion, plot beats of swoon-worthy romance, and a cast of Black female characters that you’ll fall in love with, the unputdownable debut novel from Oti Mabuse brims with heat and heart. Perfect for fans of Talia Hibbert, Laura Jane Williams, Tia Williams, Farrah Rochon, Hannah Grace and Bolu Babalola.
For dancer Lira, Latin Ballroom is everything. Whilst her dreams of fame were cut short aged 19, she’s never forgotten the connection she felt dancing with a stranger at the Paris World Championship afterparty 13 years ago.
Now, with her younger sisters pursuing their own successful dancing careers, and the responsibility of running the family dance studio falling to her, Lira’s ambitious flame is about to flicker out. Until a chance encounter sees her secretly auditioning for Slow Burn, a new dance show about to embark on a 6-week European tour, and coming face to face with a blast from her past that sends her reeling.
Gabriele is the quintessential bad boy of the Latin Ballroom scene. Slim of hip, with long, lean muscles that pop, a chiselled jaw, dark eyes, obscenely long lashes, and a mouth that just won’t give, it's no surprise when he lands the principal male lead role on Slow Burn. But, with just a few weeks to go till the tour starts, he still hasn't found his female co-star. All it takes is one audition to set his world on fire...
On the dance floor they’re smouldering, off it, they’re on fire.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Well, what a treat: a debut novel from dancer Oti Mabuse that’s as sparkly as the Strictly Come Dancing glitter ball. One of the beloved show’s most popular professionals, Mabuse has poured her years of experience at the top of her game into Slow Burn, crafting a sizzling romance set in the seductively high-octane world of Latin ballroom dance. We meet Lira, whose dreams of the big time were shattered when she had to quit performing to run her family’s dance studio, and Gabriele, the star of a new Latin show with whom she shared a passionate encounter 13 years ago. He needs a female co-star, and when the pair dance together again, their chemistry begins to reignite. If you love getting a glimpse behind the show-business curtain, second chances at love and life goals, with a little dash of spice, this is for you.
