Description

Helga has never fit the rules. Two incompatible magics live inside her: a healer's gift and the destructive force of Fire—a combination so rare, only a handful of people on the planet share it. This makes her a perfect recruit for a secret team that studies hidden alien species and shapes the fate of humanity. She accepts the job offer, never suspecting it will drag her into a chain of deaths, sabotage, and betrayals that doesn't easily release its victims. One mistake could turn into a disaster, threatening to destroy her friends, kill the creatures she deeply cares for, even take her own life and alter humanity's fate.

The feelings towards an attractive colleague she'd been quietly keeping at bay choose the worst possible moment to demand her attention, complicating everything beyond bearing. In a time of mortal danger, Helga can't fully rely on him, unsure of his true feelings and the role he plays in the events unfolding around her.

As the danger grows and the people around her become suspects, Helga must master the powers she barely understands, protect creatures she's come to love, and answer the question she keeps avoiding: does she trust him because she should, or because she wants to?

Tango of Water and Flame is the first book in the fantasy romance Dance Trilogy—a dark romantasy with a strong heroine, slow-burn romance, and love as a force strong enough to cross the boundary between life and death.

Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Deborah Harkness, and T. Kingfisher
