About the Author

Katherine Locke lives and writes in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, where she’s ruled by her feline overlords and her addiction to
chai lattes. Her day jobs always vary, but in the past she’s worked in nuclear
weapons abolition activism, lead poisoning education and prevention, and food
safety at a mushroom farm. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, and when she’s
not reading, she’s tweeting about reading and writing. She likes her heroes with
boyish charm and her heroines with dirty mouths. You can always find her on
Twitter at

. She is represented by Louise Fury of The Bent
Agency.

Four years ago, a car accident ended Zedekiah Harrow’s ballet
career and sent Philadelphia Ballet principal dancer Alyona Miller spinning
toward the breakdown that suspended her own. What they lost on the side of the
road that day can never be replaced, and grief is always harshest under a
spotlight…

Now twenty-three, Zed teaches music and theatre at a private
school in Washington, D.C. and regularly attends AA meetings to keep the pain at
bay. Aly has returned to D.C. to live with her mother while trying to recover
from the mental and physical breakdown that forced her to take a leave of
absence from the ballet world, and her adoring fans.

When Zed and Aly run into each other in a coffee shop, it’s as
if no time has passed at all. But without the buffer and escape of dance—and
with so much lust, anger and heartbreak hanging between them—their renewed
connection will either allow them to build the together they never had...or
destroy the fragile recoveries they’ve only started to make.
