Dirty Dancing at Devil's Leap

Estranged exes all grown up fight over a California mansion—and their feelings—in this acclaimed romantic comedy by a USA Today–bestselling author.

She was a naive country girl. He was a billionaire’s spoiled son. He was her first crush, her first heartbreak . . . and now her sworn enemy.

As Avalon Harwood’s fortunes soared, Maximilian “Mac” Coltrane’s plummeted, and he had to fight his way back to where they both began: Hellcat Canyon. Now Mac and Avalon will play dirty—in more ways than one—to get what they each want: the glorious old, abandoned Coltrane mansion. But when Avalon snaps the house up at auction, she discovers there’s something awfully familiar about the extremely hot caretaker . . .

Mac might have a heart of stone, and the abs to match, but Avalon—the dazzling girl whose heart was always too big and too reckless for her own good—was always his Kryptonite. And just like that, the stakes change: suddenly they’re fighting not just for a house, but for a magic they tasted only once before and never since—long ago, with each other, at Devil’s Leap.

Praise for Dirty Dancing at Devil’s Leap

One of Amazon's Best Romances of September

A 2017 RT Reviewer’s Choice Nominee for Best Book of the Year and Reviewer's Choice Nominee for Best Contemporary Love and Laughter

“Long’s playful third visit to Hellcat Canyon (after Wild at Whiskey Creek), the best of the series so far, reunites Avalon Harwood and Mac Coltrane, estranged since their teenage years by Mac’s cruel words and Avalon’s subsequent flight. . . . Sparkling banter, appearances of adorable children and animals, and moments of charming hilarity will gratify both new and returning readers.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Long knocks another homer out of the park. . . . Nobody does funny like Julie Anne Long, and every little bit of Dirty Dancing at Devil’s Leap is utterly charming and laugh provoking when it’s not stubbornly tugging on your heartstrings.” —All About Romance
