It started out with a kiss…

From Alexis Daria, USA Today bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola, comes a festive and flirty holiday romance set in the world of The Dance Off.

On New Year’s Eve, Broadway dancer Nik Kovalenko and ballroom champion Jess Davenport shared an impulsive midnight kiss. Jess hoped it would be the start of something more, but Nik left on a national tour the very next day, confirming all her cynical views on love.

Nearly a year later, Nik returns to Los Angeles, ready to prove to Jess that he’ll stick around this time. Jess isn’t convinced, but she agrees to three holiday-themed dates. If Nik can make a Scrooge like her believe in the magic of the holiday season, she’ll give their relationship a chance. But he won’t know until New Year’s Eve. If she kisses him at midnight, he’ll have his answer…
