Morgan's dream is to graduate high school and attend an elite dance school. After winning one national championship, that goal seems within reach. But when her dance partner moves away, Morgan loses all hope. Where will she find someone tall enough, talented enough, and confident enough to help her defend her title and get her into her dream school? Kyle seems like the answer to all Morgan's problems-he's a tall, smart, mixed-martial artist just trying to get the education he needs to escape poverty. But when tears and pleading won't get Kyle on board, Morgan does the unthinkable. She blackmails him: he can be her new partner, or face expulsion. Talk about starting off on the wrong foot! Together, Morgan and Kyle navigate privilege, prejudice, homophobia, bullying, and a growing attraction to each other. But can Morgan turn Kyle into the dancer she needs? And can she ever make up for what she's done while chasing the dream that means everything to her?
Autorenporträt
Ian Mitchell-Gill has worn many hats over the course of his life: lifeguard, athlete, martial artist, public speaker, salesman, musician, bouncer. He currently works as a schoolteacher, though he doesn't claim to have modelled Mr. Merrett after himself. A lifelong reader, he began writing to create samples for his students to help them understand how a story is developed and created. He and his students enjoyed the process so much that he began to write a chapter a week to share with them. Ian says his students were also the inspiration for the story: "I was constantly amazed at the many rich and varied abilities of my students and what they could accomplish." His many experiences and interests proved to be valuable background for some of the characters and situations in the book. His first book, Merrett's Gift, was a labor of love that is now being brought to a wider audience. Ian lives in Oshawa, Ontario, with his wife and two daughters. He continues to teach.
