When Zeni Everly meets the young Duke of Rochester at, Thornfield Hall gets a brand new mystery-- and a hot new contemporary romance.
What makes an otherwise sane woman appear on a reality TV show?Especially one as drastic as Ugly Duckling? For Audra Marks, the last straw comes when she loses her shot with handsome Art Bradshaw to the prettier and lighter-skinned Esmeralda Prince. Audra's always lived in a classic movies fantasy world of diva dames and handsome heroes, where the costumes are gorgeous, the good guys always win, and love always triumphs. But now, her heart broken, she's decided to do anything to get back her man and show her hypercritical mother she can "pretty up" with the best of them in the bargain.After all, if the folks at Ugly Duckling can transform a homely, buck-toothed white girl into a ravishing beauty, just think what they'll be able to do with Audra! But until she truly believes she's beautiful inside, it won't matter how hot and pretty they make the outside package. And Audra's obsession with perfection may be leading her farther and farther away from what's really important -- and blinding her to the love that's been waiting there all along . . .
One of the few dancers of color to rise to the top, ballerina Alicia Kinkaid earned her place in the spotlight-only to have it snatched away by a jealous, powerful man. To avoid the long-reach of his empire, Alicia surrendered her dreams and disappeared, re-emerging under a new name. The last thing on Alicia's mind was love-and certainly not with another man with her ex's money and power. Money and power, after all, had ruined her life. Fate, however, had other plans. When Hugh Lindsay first crosses her path, he seems to be a sexy, quirky stranger who is as reclusive and mysterious as Alicia herself. But Hugh is dancing away from his own loneliness-and hiding from the responsibility of helming one of the world's most beloved tech companies. When their identities-and their deep attraction to each other--are revealed, both their lives are upended. Alicia must fight to free herself from the terrors of her past-and Hugh must fight to persuade her that he's different-and that becoming his private dancer won't mean repeating the same mistakes. The first new BWWM romance from the author of the ground-breaking 2004 novel A PERSONAL MATTER, HIS PRIVATE DANCER is a sexy, page-turning tale of multicultural love, sex, dance and tech.
