Dance in the Balance by Lindsay Becs

MAX:
From the moment I first lay eyes on him, I know I’m in trouble. I can’t get enough of him. His blushes, his touches, his kisses. Him.
I don’t date. I don’t do relationships—especially long-distance ones.
But I might now.
I’m falling so hard and so fast, holding on for as long as I can until my two worlds collide.
And they will. They do.
Selfishly, I kept them both to myself, and now I might lose him because of it.

SERGEI:
I’ve never been nervous around someone the way I am with him. My words jumble up, and my heart hammers in my chest when he’s near. This sexy, strong man tilts my world, knocking me off balance.
I’m in love with him before I realize it.
Then I find out he’s not who I thought he was.
And I think I’m the dirty secret he’s ashamed of.
