Marking Time — Sherryl D. Hancock

Raine Mason has never been in a relationship with a woman… or anyone for that matter. Then she meets Natalia, the feisty Latina dance teacher. A dancer-turned cop, Raine captivates the eyes of the dance teacher and with a little push from their friend, they embark on a whirlwind romance. With Natalia's ex-girlfriend overrun with jealousy, they face a bumpy road to discover that they'd both just been Marking Time until they found each other. Meanwhile, their friends Sierra and Kashena are happily married, that is until Sierra's violent ex-husband is released from jail and sets out on a mission to destroy their happiness and the family they have created with his son.
