One Enchanted Evening
A later-in-life M/M romance novel about commitment and equality.
Patrick Sarkisian could have been on another ridiculous date on that particular Saturday. Instead he was cheering for his niece at her first adult ballroom competition. Being the Good Uncle, not expecting the evening to be memorable in any way. Then he noticed one of the professional dancers, and things got interesting.
Dmitri Vasko expected to spend the long evening as round after round, out on the floor with his students. Then he heard someone yelling his number, saw the person responsible, and all at once wondered if this was the change he’d almost stopped hoping for.
Their courtship was just long enough to determine that they really did want the same each other. Then they had to figure out how to work around two established careers. How to be together, and how to stay together.
Their partnership was built around change. One thing never commitment to making it work.
Adult situations, themes, and language; 72,000 words and a happy ending.
REVISED EDITION including material previously published as 'Change Partners.'

The accountant and the dancer
Patrick spots Dmitri dancing at a competition where his niece is also competing. Patrick starts cheering him on, attracting Dmitri's attention. It's a bit of opposites attract as Patrick is talkative and social while Dmitri is a stoic and controlled Ukrainian who's been in the US for years. They start a relationship among their very busy lives--Dmitri opening a studio and chasing national championships. Patrick has busy times too as head of his own accounting firm.
That leads to lots of negotiation and compromises over the 15 years covered in the book.
Both characters appear in many other odd the LA stories so I was very pleased to see their story.
