The Dance Partner

By Maren Bellamy

The Dance Partner is a sweet, cozy romantic comedy about heartbreak, rhythm, and the unexpected man who notices every step.

After being dumped by her long-term boyfriend for being "too predictable," Harper Lane signs up for a beginner salsa class on impulse. She does not know how to dance. She does not know how to flirt anymore. She definitely does not know what to do with Mateo Cruz, the quiet, handsome man she keeps getting paired with.

Mateo is patient, steady, and impossible to read. He never laughs when Harper stumbles. He never makes her feel foolish. And somehow, with every count, turn, and almost-kiss, Harper begins to feel less like a woman trying to prove herself and more like someone finally being seen.

But Harper is still carrying the fear that she is easy to replace, and Mateo has his own reasons for keeping his heart guarded. As the final class showcase approaches, they must decide whether the connection between them is only part of the dance, or something real enough to continue after the music ends.

Warm, romantic, and heartfelt, The Dance Partner is Book 2 in The Class Crush Series, perfect for readers who enjoy dance class romance, slow-burn chemistry, post-breakup healing, and love found in unexpected places.
