The Midnight Dance: A modern mm romance inspired by Cinderella (Ever After #2)

A ballet dancer desperate to escape his cruel stepfamily. A lonely, closeted Wall Street investment manager. One night that changes everything.

Elam Ascher:

It was supposed to be a one-night stand.

I have a year to prove myself to City Ballet, to convince them to make me a permanent member of the corps. I don’t have time for a love affair. But Charles is so lost and lonely and I’ve never had someone care about me like this before. I can’t keep away, no matter how many times I tell myself I should.

Charles White:

It was supposed to be a one-night stand.

I’ve known I was gay for years, but coming to terms with it is another story. I’ve wanted men before, but never like this. I’ve never wanted to wake up in his arms, cook dinner together, find him waiting for me when I get home from work. Elam is younger than me, more confident, more attractive. He can do so much better than me. I want him anyway.

One night dancing together leads to weeks of dancing around each other before Elam’s wicked stepbrother breaks his leg. With Charles’s homophobic family trying to push him into marriage and Elam’s determination to stand on his own two feet (even if one is out of commission), can the lonely pair still find their way to each other?

The Midnight Dance is an opposites-attract hurt/comfort romance with a happy ending.
