Synopsis

When Jules finds out that Kitty St. Clair, a resident at the retirement home where she works, has passed away and bequeathed her a dilapidated dance hall in their quaint and picturesque lakeside community, Jules is surprised. Kitty St. Clair was as eccentric as she was glamorous, but Jules cannot figure out why Kitty left her an abandoned building.

That is until Reeve, a charming, successful developer, returns to town, looking for the new owner of the dance hall, intent on turning it into luxury vacation condos. Suddenly Jules has a way to make her lifelong dream of going to med school a reality. But selling the dance hall will only add to the steadily rising real estate prices and make it harder for residents of her tiny vacation town to live there, not to mention, Reeve also happens to be the man who Jules shared a magical night with two summers ago—and never heard from again.

Reeve wants a second chance with Jules and is determined to earn back her trust. But can she let herself fall for him again? Does he want her, or a guaranteed sale?

Jules wishes she could talk to Kitty, who always seemed to have the best advice, so she turns to the diary she left her. But as Jules falls asleep reading, she wakes up in the world of the diary, fifty years ago, accompanying a young Kitty to the dance hall in all its glory. Her dream visits to Kitty’s past begin to parallel the questions plaguing her in her own world. Will Kitty’s past hold the keys to unlocking Jules’s future?

Kitty St. Clair’s Last Dance

Prologue

“All right, babe, you’re up.”

Zoe hands me the empty bottle of Jose Cuervo with an exaggerated wink and giggles, making me suspect she’s primarily responsible for its empty state.

I’m trapped. Our little party within a party has commandeered the entire dock to the left of the Sharma’s massive boathouse with our game. Now I’m wedged between Zoe’s cousin with the perpetually sweaty hands and some summer tourist Zoe picked up at the beach today—both of whom you’d describe using words like beefy and broad. My back is to the lake, and although I have no desire to take a midnight dip, the idea is preferable to the tequila bottle in my hands and the rules that go along with it.

“I should probably go.” I attempt to stand so I can head back to my tiny apartment above the pizzeria and, more important, my bed, but Beefy Tourist grabs my wrist and tugs me back down to the circle.

“Can’t leave before it’s your turn.” He shoots me a grin that I’m certain he thinks is sexy. And although I’m three drinks past my usual one-drink limit, there is no doubt that I’ll remember this entire exchange in the morning. He, however, either will not recognize me or will not acknowledge that he does when he stumbles into the coffee shop tomorrow at noon to order his double Americano.

“Come on, Jules.” Zoe sticks her lower lip out in a pout. “One little spin. Live a little. It’s just for fun.”
