…dance for an all-male revue!

Dylan Quinn is unhappy. There’s a festering, pus-crusted, gaping hole where his soul should be, and it’s all because he had never allowed himself to do what he’s always wanted to do: join the Royal Academy of Dance. As a child, Dylan had learned there is only one avenue for the thoroughly heterosexual male Quinns. Firefightin’. His family had always been supportive of all of his endeavors— like the time he landed the lead in his high school’s production of Swan Lake— but Dylan knows it would secretly break his father’s heart if he were to hang up his ultra-tight flame-retardant pants and pick up ballet slippers. For good. After all, the Mighty Quinns are only known for two things: fightin’ fires and impregnatin’ kind, pure, salt-of-the-earth females.

Julie Davis has always been in love with Dylan Quinn. In high school, she followed him around and even signed up for the drama club just so she could be near him. In math classes, she allowed him to copy from her tests. But he had never acknowledged her as a woman, much less as a love interest. Over the years, she had learned to accept that the day will never come when Dylan will look at her and fall madly in love.

But she knows his heart’s desire…

One night, while walking her Pomeranian and passing the firehouse “by chance,” Julie peeks into a window and finds Dylan alone and twirling like a graceful, beautifully insane top to Chopin blasting from a boombox. She realizes if she could help Dylan fulfill his dream, he would finally see her as a woman. And it could start with the audition for the lead of an all-male version of La Bayadere, a production her sister is leading in Tulsa…

Thanks again to my buddy Amber for sending me this cover.
