Spotlight and Giveaway: Take the Lead

Happy Valentine's Day! Today we are featuring a special edition of Alexis Daria's debut novel, Take the Lead, which is available for the first time in print. Thanks to St. Martin's Press, we have one copy to give away!

Gina Morales wants to make it big. In her four seasons on The Dance Off, she’s never even made it to the finals. But her latest partner, the sexy star of an Alaskan wilderness show, could be her chance. Who knew the strong, silent, survivalist-type had moves like that? She thinks Stone Nielson is her ticket to win it all—until her producer makes it clear they’re being set up for a showmance.

Joining a celebrity dance competition is the last thing Stone wants. However, he’ll endure anything to help his family, even as he fears revealing their secrets. While the fast pace of Los Angeles makes him long for the peace and privacy of home, he can’t hide his growing attraction for his dance partner. Neither wants to fake a romance for the cameras, but the explosive chemistry that flares between them is undeniable.

As Stone and Gina heat up the dance floor, the tabloids catch on to their developing romance. With the spotlight threatening to ruin everything, will they choose fame and fortune, or let love take the lead?

"Believable, emotional, and hot—everything you want from a story about dance partners!"
 —Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author

“Stone and Gina’s chemistry leaps off the pages in a story filled with grit, humor, passion, and heart. A must-read!”
—Mia Sosa, USA Today bestselling author of The Worst Best Man

"Take the Lead is everything I look for in a romance—lovable and layered characters, sizzling chemistry, and a charming and authentic voice."
—Sonali Dev, author of A Bollywood Affair
