“Buddy got us a room at the Waldorf Astoria. We’ve got all day tomorrow to explore the city before sound check.”
Katie inhaled deeply and smiled broadly. “I can’t believe it’s happening. I’m finally traveling and it’s not for work.”
Clay kissed the knuckles of her hand he was holding. “You deserve it, baby. I’m so glad you’re doing this with me. I can’t imagine doing it alone. I’d be lost without you.”
Leaning in, she kissed his earlobe, tugging on it between her teeth making him moan. “There is no other place in the world I’d rather be than with you, Georgia Clay. I love you,” she whispered.
The Boeing-737 aircraft engines revved and soon they were speeding down the runway. Clay happily gripped Katie’s hand, realizing she would never again have to look up at the sky and wonder where a plane was headed. She was on the plane, with him. And together, they were flying into their future.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
First and foremost, I could not have done this without the love and support of my talented musician-husband, Ladd. Your belief and confidence in me has been monumental! This story was inspired by our time living in the Music City trying to make it in country music many moons ago. Playing at the Bluebird Café, local honkytonks and hotels helped build the foundation of our lives and my career as a singing artist. I will never forget our time with Encore Records and touring with our band playing original music and covers. To be able to parlay some of those experiences into the Georgia Clay story has been a dream come true. I love you!

Huge shout-out to my local gal-pal and incredible author/friend, Kathy Florence. I will forever be grateful for your knowledge and support with the publishing side of this project.
For all the incredible bloggers and my readers, THANK YOU for your continued support and love. Your notes of encouragement and positive reviews are the best! Lastly, thank you to my talented author friends – I will be forever grateful for your advice and reassurance while on this journey.

Hartford Parker is a disgraced real estate broker hiding out in his sister’s condo in suburban Atlanta. Swearing off women after an embarrassing indiscretion at a black-tie event, Hart now indulges in drinking and working out as he tries to come to terms with his unexpected firing at a prestigious DC firm.
Across town in a run-down and forgotten part of the city, Gia Bates is struggling to make ends meet at her failing dance studio. Secretly working part-time as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator for a seedy entertainment company has Gia feeling trapped in her debt while slowly chipping away at her passion and solace in dance.
The handsome playboy and the dancer with legs-for-days find themselves at the same party and end up on an uncertain path full of sex, secrets, and shame. As they move forward in a spicy tango, can the two of them ever dance in sync? Will they fight for their own happily ever after or will Hart be left with nothing more than Georgia on his mind?
