Sure the sex is fantastic but thats not enough to hang the rest of your potentially immortal life upon. To distract himself Rhys suggests he and Silas take a set of lessons to learn to waltz. The plan backfires when they are paired with two older womenone of whom reminds Rhys of his recently deceased mother. Instead of being able to ignore thinking about his future with Silas hes actively questioned about his lover. And it seems the whole boat knows who hes sleeping with. As Rhys learns the steps of the waltz he has to decide if hell continue to dance around what he feels for Silas or if hell finally learn to trust in his partners love for him.
