Sugar's Dance — Katie Mettner

Sugar DuBois, a successful business woman, lived and worked on the shores of Lake Superior. By day she was everybody's favorite dance instructor, but by night she suffered the torment of her past. For over a decade she'd been trying to answer the question of ‘why'. Why did the three most important people in her life have to leave her? Why did she have to suffer every day, both physically and emotionally? As the summer turned to fall, her swirling mind drove her into a dark place; a place her family worried she may never find her way out of.By the age of thirty, Agent Donovan Walsh had already raised a child. Now, with his responsibilities behind him, he was adrift as he searched for a new path in life. Offered a stint as a bodyguard for a state witness, he agreed to fly to ‘the tip of the end of the world', in hopes of finding himself again. Little did he know, the reasons for the rest of his life were in the blue eyes of a gorgeous, stubborn, and broken woman. When an attempt was made on Sugar's life, she had to trust Van to lead her through a dangerous rumba of deceit, kidnapping, and murder. When everything fell apart, Van had to trust himself to do the right thing, and protect the one person he couldn't live without. When the danger passes, and the music fades away, Sugar is left to answer the most important question of her life. Will Van lay the ghosts of her past to rest once and for all, or will he be another soul to haunt her, forever?
