In Noon, for Nicole Dubois, dance – her life – has never been the same since her only love and dance partner, Breck Noon, suddenly and mysteriously left her, disappearing at the height of their promising career and budding romance. Years later he returns. He wants her back in his life, back as his partner. Pride keeps Nicole from asking why he left and where he’s been. In his absence, she’s aligned herself with a dangerous partner whose secret obsession is to destroy Breck.    

In the dance world, competition is cutthroat, deception knows no boundaries. Breck and Nicole find themselves competitors, and life on the dance floor sizzles with passion and ignites with danger. Can their love survive an adversary whose drive to win is as powerful as his to will to keep Breck and Nicole apart?

In Dancing With His Heart, playboy and philanthropist, Alex offers first class sponsorship to Lauren and her dance partner. Given their tumultuous past, Lauren is suspicious. Without resources, the single mother of a handicapped child is forced to take Alex’s offer.

His plan is to prove that he’s changed, and win her heart. But trust is not easily won even with the sizzling sparks the two of them ignite on and off the dance floor, and they both face more trouble when a dark figure from their past shows up with devious intentions for them both.

Katherine has four completed novels in the dance series, all of which thread the passion of ballroom dance with haunting love stories. She plans at least one in Young Adult.

“NOON took me on a journey that as an avid romance reader, AND dancer was so engaging that I now have to credit it as one of my all time favorite reads. Ever. The story is so beautifully woven and has so much depth, that it put romance novels on a new grading scale for me. The characters are so alive and will stay with you for days. The storylines are finely crafted and just entertain from beginning to end. And I have to say, as a dancer, everything was very real. None of that cheesy, don’t know what they're talking about stuff. I felt right in touch with the dance steps as much as the story! Really beautiful...worth a read. Again. And Again.”
