Midnight Serenade
What you need to know before your trail
After twenty years of wondering why her mother chose the tango over her, Dani McKenna finally travels to Argentina. She has always wondered what was it about this land which enticed her mother away. Dani is now a journalist and so she is better placed than most to find out. However, this is her most personal story yet.
She meets Carlos Escudero, an enigmatic tango dancer may hold the key to her quest—if she can break down his defensive walls. He says he will give Dani some insights, on one condition: she must agree to his tango lessons.
