Steamy, heartfelt, and alive with the rhythm of salsa and bachata, Quick, Quick, Slow is a romance about second chances, buried desire, and how love, like dance, can set us free.

Gia DeLuca didn’t come to San Diego to fall in love. She wanted to remember who she was before life got small and safety smothered her fire. A salsa class seemed harmless enough until the music lit her up from within and reminded her how it felt to want again.

Sebastián Solano had it all: a career in professional soccer, a legendary family legacy in music and dance, and the kind of fame most people only dream about.

Love proves to be the riskiest dance of all.
