To Tango, with Love

Front Cover
Ida Brady, May 10, 2020 - Fiction - 344 pages

Passion. An Argentine man.

Desire. An Australian woman.

A dance that fuelled their love.

A past that threatened to burn it.


Mathilda Landrey is determined to restore the family bookstore to its former glory. So what if she has more debt than a small country? It’s the only thing she wants in life. That, and dancing the Argentine tango. But she’d rather stick a stiletto in her eye, than dance the lead in a tango performance group.


Thrust into the role opposite her teacher, Alejandro Garcia, Mathilda’s safe little haven suddenly becomes Nightmare on Tango Street. When disaster strikes, she is torn between saving her family legacy or creating one of her own.


A decade after an accident that ended his chances at the world title, Alejandro is intent on making this performance the biggest event on the tango calendar. His reputation and livelihood depend on its success. No matter how alluring his dance partner is, Alejandro vowed long ago never to embroil love and tango.


When love dances into their hearts, Alejandro and Mathilda must confront his demons, quell her doubts and conquer their fears. Or burn the floor trying.

About the author (2020)

Ida Brady is a lover of chocolate and thunderstorms. When she isn’t trying to tame her intractable curls, she’s running after her toddler and fur-baby, usually with a book in hand.


Ida lives in the hustle and bustle of Melbourne’s CBD with her Irish husband and their out of control collection of books. She sometimes daydreams about having a huge library in her home but will settle for stacking novels in the kitchen drawers instead.


In her past life, Ida taught VCE Literature and English to a gaggle of teenagers. While she misses their enthusiasm, she sure as hell doesn’t miss marking papers.


She loves travelling with her family, observing strangers at café’s and getting lost in a good story.
