The Dance — Michelle Bolanger

Zane has always been different. His years as a theater and dance major instilled in him an eclectic sense of style. The girls mostly find his choices endearing, until they discover he wears skirts and makeup even on his days off. Their attempts to change him never end well, and he resigns himself to being a bachelor - until he meets Ivy.After escaping her controlling ex-boyfriend, Ivy picked up a part-time job at a cosmetics store to make ends meet. Her enthusiasm for lip color brings her literally face-to-face with Zane, and his quick wit and flirtatious personality gives her fragile confidence the boost it needs.When Zane's plush lifestyle becomes a trigger for the terror from Ivy's recent past, his transparency about his own identity battle sets the stage for a fresh start for both of them.
