POSH The Phoenix Protocol
POSH The Phoenix Protocol
When an old-money dynasty turns a ballroom fellowship into a legal battlefield, a South Boston dance teacher with a broken past must dance ten public performances before her body gives out and a family secret changes everything.
Amelia Mercer knows how to hide pain. Five years ago, a catastrophic fall ended her competitive career and left her rebuilding a life one private lesson at a time...until The Phoenix Protocol
Enter Dina Blackwood, a formidable Newport heiress, offers Amelia a chance at something impossible: a place in a secretive ballroom protocol that comes with money, prestige, and a role in a family war.
What looks like a bargain quickly turns into a test of body, nerve, and loyalty. As Amelia trains for ten public performances, she faces sabotage, press attacks, old betrayal, and a knee that may not survive the next turn. But the more she dances, the clearer the true stakes become: Dina is dying, her children are circling, and the woman who hired Amelia is hiding a truth that could rewrite every life inside Bellevue Estate.
Amelia came for survival. But what if the final dance is really about identity, inheritance, and the secret she never knew she lost?
"Morgan Litlee writes upmarket family fiction where old money keeps older secrets. POSH The Phoenix Protocol draws on a lifelong fascination with competitive ballroom and the quiet cruelty of inherited silence."
