Midnight Serenade
by Alli Sinclair
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Women’s Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
On the sultry streets of Buenos
Aires, the daughter of a world class tango diva searches for answers about the
mother who abandoned her—and uncovers decades of lies and deception…
After twenty years of wondering why her mother chose the tango over her, Dani McKenna finally travels to Argentina. What was it about this beautiful, mysterious land that enticed one woman away from her own child—and broke another’s heart? As a journalist, Dani may have the opportunity to find out. And an enigmatic tango dancer may hold the key to her quest—if she can break down his defensive walls.
Carlos Escudero had been Dani’s mother’s protégé. Tragedy ended his career and he refuses to be interviewed. But he will give Dani some insights, on one condition: she must agree to his tango lessons. As the two begin the intricate dance of passion, Dani’s quiet, logical world is exchanged for one of music, motion—and mystery. For the clues to a tango legend’s murder may lead Dani to the truth about the past and its impact on her family—and free her to move toward a future she can claim as her own at last…

EXCERPT:
A
gust of wind rattled the door leading to the street. She could still chicken
out. After all, if her colleagues at the magazine were right, her mission was
doomed anyway. But she chose to ignore their warnings, even though her
interview subject, Carlos Escudero, hated the media with more passion than he’d
ever danced tango. His refusal to publicly talk about the motorbike accident
that destroyed his dancing career and ruined the relationship with his dance
partner only motivated journalists to dig deeper. They were determined to
unearth the story that lay beneath the well-rehearsed statements from the
estranged couple. So far, though, the journalists’ efforts had smashed into a
wall of anger and silence.
Pushing
out a long sigh, she adjusted the shoulder strap of her handbag. As much as she
wanted to be the one to finally discover what happened on that fateful day,
Dani wasn’t so naïve she thought she could succeed where so many seasoned
journalists had failed. Besides, his personal life wasn’t why she was here. Her
job was to get Carlos Escudero on board with her history of tango articles and
nothing else.
She
lowered her head and shook it. Seriously? She’d taken to lying to herself now?
