Steamy, heartfelt, and alive with the rhythm of salsa and bachata, Quick, Quick, Slow is a romance about second chances, buried desire, and how love, like dance, can set us free. Gia DeLuca didn’t come to San Diego to fall in love. She wanted to remember who she was before life got small and safety smothered her fire. A salsa class seemed harmless enough until the music lit her up from within and reminded her how it felt to want again. Sebastián Solano had it all: a career in professional soccer, a legendary family legacy in music and dance, and the kind of fame most people only dream about. An injury shattered his plans, leaving him straddling two worlds and burning to prove he still belongs somewhere. The last thing he needs is a distraction. But a mesmerizing newcomer offers him something he’s never had: the freedom of being unknown. In the studio and late-night salsa clubs, their chemistry is undeniable. A high-stakes pro-am competition in Los Angeles turns their spark into something far more serious. With endless rehearsals and tension they can’t contain, every practice becomes a test of trust, restraint, and how much heat two people can hold before desire demands a choice. Love proves to be the riskiest dance of all. _________________________________ Tropes You’ll Love: Pro Athlete / Celebrity Hero - Forced Proximity - He Falls First - Second Chances - Emotional Slow Burn Jessa Leads writes contemporary romance and women's fiction from a desk near the beach.
