By James F. Brooks

The Dance of Hearts is a spellbinding Regency romance that sweeps readers into the glittering ballrooms and secret gardens of 1815 London, where love dares to defy the boundaries of society and duty.

In a world where every glance is scrutinized and every step is measured, Lady Cassandra Langley and Lord Edward Harcourt find their hearts entwined in a dance of passion and peril. Cassandra, a spirited beauty bound by her family's precarious fortune, is under immense pressure to secure a match that will preserve her family's status. Edward, a charming viscount with a troubled past, returns to London only to find his duty to marry colliding with a growing attraction to the one woman he cannot have.

From their first electrifying encounter at a masquerade ball to secret letters exchanged in moonlit gardens, their love blossoms in the shadows, daring to defy the expectations of a world governed by scandal and propriety. Yet their love is not without its challenges. As rivals emerge, whispers of betrayal stir, and the weight of family obligations threatens to tear them apart. When Edward's past resurfaces and a vengeful suitor threatens to steal Cassandra away, they must decide whether they are willing to risk everything for the love they have fought so fiercely to keep hidden.

The Dance of Hearts is a tantalizing tale of forbidden love, courage, and sacrifice. With its lush setting, vivid characters, and thrilling romance, this novel will leave readers breathless, reminding us all that love, like a dance, requires both grace and defiance to endure the trials of time and society.

Prepare to be swept away in a world of stolen kisses, secret trysts, and a love that could change the course of their fates forever.
