Julia Rios figures salsa lessons at her aunt's dance studio are just the answer to spice up her life after a very public breakup with one of San Diego's most eligible bachelors. When a tall, handsome Tex-Mex cowboy struts into the studio, the usually cool Julia gets more sizzle than she bargained for when she finds herself paired with-and against-him. Ricardo Montalvo has a one track mind and wants more than to show his smooth moves to the stunning Julia. He wants to buy the dance studio. His motives falter as he gets to know her better. Julia shows the spunk and business savvy he admires, but he also learns just how fiercely loyal she is when family is at risk. Even though the buyout would benefit all of them, it suddenly seems like a lose-lose proposition. As they begin to savor every heated moment-on and off the dance floor-both know what's at stake. Will they remain in each other's arms when the music stops playing, or will they give up their song to save family?
