About this listen

It takes two to tango.

Allegra Hart has been working her whole life to achieve one goal: become a principal ballerina. When her director starts holding auditions for the lead role in the company’s latest production, Allegra sees this as her chance—maybe her last chance.

The catch? The director wants someone with sex appeal, and he doesn’t think she’s up to the task. Determined to prove him wrong, Allegra enlists the help of the lead dancer of an all-male revue, Cord Donovan, a classically trained dancer who is also the sexiest man she’s ever met. In exchange for lessons on how to ramp up her sex appeal, she promises to help Cord choreograph a new partner piece for his show.

As they practice their moves on and off the stage, Allegra and Cord find themselves battling a growing attraction, all the more illicit because Cord has sworn to never partner with a ballerina. Allegra is determined not to let a man derail her career, but what if she could have both love and success? Or will her involvement with Cord jeopardize everything she’s worked for?

Critic reviews

"Ballard’s latest may be about the light and graceful art of ballet, but it does not hesitate to pack a punch. . . . a hefty addition to Ballard’s oeuvre." —Booklist

"A fun and very steamy romance that explores the inner lives of dancers." —Kirkus Reviews

"Falon Ballard is an absolute powerhouse of an author. With every new book, she continues to shine in her humor, loveable characters, and beautiful prose. I loved every moment of Toe to Toe." —Hannah Bonam-Young, New York Times bestselling author of People Watching

"Toe to Toe is a mash-up of Center Stage meets Magic Mike (with a hearty dose of Dirty Dancing), Toe to Toe is everything my romance-loving heart could want. Sexy and sweet in equal measure, I found myself rooting for Allegra and Cord as both a couple and as individuals wounded by a tough industry. Ballard always brings both heart and heat to all her books, and this might be my new favorite!" —Alison Cochrun, author of The Charm Offensive and Every Step She Takes

"Falon Ballard's Toe to Toe is on point!! Magic Mike meets Center Stage in this incredibly sexy and fabulous executed romance. I absolutely devoured it!" —Jo Segura, USA Today bestselling author of Temple of Swoon

"Falon Ballard knows how to write a page-turning romance. The sweet and spicy connection between Allegra and Cord had me hooked from their first interaction before sweeping me away with the competitive world of dance Ballard paints so passionately. Between the cast of complex characters and Ballard's trademark sizzling sexual tension, Toe To Toe will have you signing up for ballet classes before you reach the final page. Add this to your TBR ASAP!" —Lindsey Kelk, author of Love Me Do

"When it comes to sparkling, swoon-worthy love stories, no one does it better than Falon Ballard. Toe to Toe left me breathless; it's romantic, sexy, and heartfelt, and I devoured every single page." —Kate Spencer, author of In a New York Minute
