What is Stage Left, Heart Right about?
It’s a YA contemporary romance about two dancers—Grace, the dedicated ballet student aiming for perfection, and Fallon, the freestyle rebel who refuses to follow anyone’s rules but her own. Forced to partner at a summer intensive, they collide with differing styles and aspirations, and gradually discover that what they thought they wanted may not be what they need.

Is it a standalone?
Yes—this story stands on its own, with its own arc, setting, and characters. It has all the usual hallmarks of Cameron Tate, though, with banter, tension, conflic and fun.

Is there spice?
Fade-to-black/some hints at sex.

Where does the story take place?
At a summer dance camp (intensive)—a high-pressure artistic environment that forces Grace and Fallon to step out of their comfort zones.
