    Some couples are a match made in heaven. Moira and Kenzie are convinced the only place they're a match is in hell.Raised as the shining prodigies of warring highland dance schools, the two grew up with blaring bagpipes as the backing track for a feud that took them all the way to the world championships.Moira could never keep Kenzie's icy glares from getting under her skin, and Kenzie could never hold back an eye-roll as she watched the crowds fawn over her rival's happy-go-lucky charm.Starting college has forced both women to hang up their kilts, but when their local highland dance association announces a scholarship for a life-changing amount of money, they find themselves back onstage for one last season.The stakes are higher than ever, but between shooting daggers at each other's backs and insults at each other's faces, their eyes start lingering, their hearts start pounding, and the sparks begin to build into a fire neither of them can control.Hell could freeze before either woman would admit their attraction, but that won't stop them from using it to play dirty—and getting caught in the crossfire of their feelings along the way.After all, sometimes the devil wears tartan.
