'When ballroom teacher Alex Gibson dances with Dan Maddox she's reminded of the time she stuck a knife in the toaster, gave herself an electric shock, and saw stars. He's precisely the type of man Alex's mother warned her off - a player, like the father who abandoned her.
'Dan Maddox comes from a long line of men who were hiding under the hood of a beat-up car when the 'successful relationship' gene was given out, but he was first in the queue for an extra jolt of chick-pulling power.
'The chicks in Dan's life are universally gorgeous, random, and disposable, until one drunken night when he picks the wrong girl, hurts a good friend, and realises that unless he does something to change, he'll end up like his violent, unstable father.
'It's Pimp My Ride meets Dancing With The Stars as Alex and Dan come together to compete in a ballroom dancing competition that changes the way they both feel about relationships and love.'

'Anthony Gambese thought he had life sussed: Happy family, good mates, the freedom of surfing, a new career, and enough action in the bedroom to keep him well satisfied.
'He had no idea. But two chicks were about to show him the error of his ways, trashing his love-life, stealing his promotion and challenging his honour.
'And that was before he discovered what a roller derby doll could do by skating over his heart.
'Like a derby jam, this novella (40,000 words) is tight packed, fast and furious. It can be read alone, or as a follow up to Grease Monkey Jive. It tells the story of Ant, the last of Dan's mates not felled by a girl who was exactly what he needed and didn't see coming.'
