Dancing in the Dark

Welcome to Sexy Men…Sassy Women Book


A bestselling author, a medevac pilot, a hotshot lawyer, a bodyguard, a football coach and a children’s book author…all sexy, sensitive men who can be stubborn and infuriating.


A reclusive artist, a CEO, a family court judge, a businesswoman, a college professor and a celebrity food channel host… all successful, smart and sassy women who try to tame the men they love.


In DANCING IN THE DARK, celebrity Cooking Network host and bestselling cookbook author, Clarissa Boneli, has a critical car accident and doesn’t remember who she is or what she’s done with her life. Worse, she doesn’t recognize the man she loves. But piece by piece, she begins to see there were two Clares: one who loved her friends and made time for them. And one who became aloof and sophisticated and didn’t seem to care who she hurt.


Children’s books author and illustrator Brady Langston is heartbroken when Clare doesn’t remember him. They were best friends, and shared their personal and professional lives for years. He can’t believe she could forget all they meant to each other. At least not the old Clare. After all, hadn’t the new Clare left him in the dust?


Irrevocable mistakes and dark secrets are revealed to the reader as Clare remembers them. Along with those, she has fleeting glimpses of tender moments and sensual intimacies that hint at the man Clare truly loves.


BONUS: Food lovers everywhere will relish the world of glamorous cooking shows and be privy to the recipes Clare creates and the stories that go with them. As a bonus feature, CLARISSA’S KITCHEN is included with this package. It’s a cookbook containing the recipes in the novel, many from Mary Grace Boneli, the author’s grandmother, some from the author’s extended family, the Ruoccos and meals from Kathryn’s nuclear family’s kitchen. If you love Italian food, there are plenty of dishes for you!
