Alexis Daria's tantalizing romance "Take the Lead" will seduce readers with its showmance-turned-real-romance saga. While working on the reality TV show "The Dance Off," dancer Gina Morales has never won or even made it to the finals. She's surprised when her new partner, the stoic star of a wilderness show, Stone, turns out to have moves that might take them to the end. And even though Stone is only here to help his family, he can't deny a sizzle between him and Gina both on and off the dance floor. As Gina and Stone develop real feelings off screen, the producers play up their chemistry on screen, leading to a social media frenzy that throws their secrets into the limelight and puts their careers on the line. Going for gold might have cost the pair everything, including their shot at true love.
