  But no, apparently, pants could wait. Henry clapped his hands three times and spun in a circle as he chanted, “Though the night is dark and the sun is bright, I bid you to dance unto my sight.”

  I was standing there, thinking, You certainly are a dancing sight, spinning like that, Mr. Naked, when all at once, I started moving. It was the weirdest freaking thing—as if my legs suddenly had a life of their own.

  I looked down at me feet. Was I…?

  Oh, my God, I was Irish Step Dancing!

  “Oh no. No no no no no,” I shouted.

  But I could tell that Henry still couldn’t see me, and he verified that by saying, “It didn’t work.”

  “The fuck it didn’t!” I yelled, stomping my way merrily across the room. “Make it stop!”

  About Suzanne Brockmann

  After childhood plans to become the captain of a starship didn’t pan out, Suzanne Brockmann took her fascination with military history, her respect for the men and women who serve, her reverence for diversity, and her love of storytelling, and explored brave new worlds as a New York Times bestselling romance author. Over the past twenty-seven years she has written sixty novels, including her award-winning Troubleshooters series about Navy SEAL heroes and
the women—and sometimes men—who win their hearts. In addition to writing books, Suzanne Brockmann produces feature-length movies: the award-winning romantic comedy The Perfect Wedding, which she co-wrote with her husband, Ed Gaffney, and their son, Jason; the thriller Russian Doll; and the rom-com Analysis Paralysis. Her latest movie, Out of Body, a rom-com with paranormal elements, for which she co-wrote the script with Jason, is currently being screened at film festivals. Suz has also co-written the YA Night Sky series with her daughter Melanie, and is the publisher and editor of an m/m line of category romances called Suzanne Brockmann Presents. In 2018, Suz was given the Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award from the Romance Writers of America. Her latest novels are King’s Ransom (Tall, Dark & Dangerous #13), SEAL Camp (Tall, Dark & Dangerous #12), and Out of Body, all available in print and e-book from Suzanne Brockmann Books, and in audio from Blackstone Audio.
