Wrong Libri GmbH Wrong Footing Paperback

In swing dancing, wrong footing means your partner leads you off-balance. In life, it can be deadly. Victoria Rutherford thought she'd moved on-new career, new confidence, and a fresh start after her divorce. Then a random dance pairing at The Gilded Age puts her in the arms of Cayle Walton, the man her family forced her to abandon twenty years ago. Their chemistry is undeniable. Their families' hatred is absolute. As Victoria and Cayle navigate secret practice sessions and a high-stakes competition, a true crime podcast exposes a forty-year-old murder. With each episode, the past closes in-and not everyone wants it to surface. Now Victoria must choose: the safe life her parents demand, or the dangerous truth that might destroy them all.
