Mastering The Dance This is the story of Preston Smith, a bright and handsome young accountant, who takes a job with Hank Cantrell, a real estate magnate and longtime client. Preston’s lavish income and corporate perks convince him he is now on a fast track to wealth. As he becomes involved with Kate Cantrell, Hank's beautiful daughter, Preston is even surer he is on the right path.

But Preston’s discovery of possible embezzlement in Hank’s company begins a series of events that pit him against Hank. He learns his boss is a slick-talking tax evader with only one real concern: adding to his riches. Crafty maneuverings by Hank entwine Preston and Hank in an unholy alliance to cover up embezzlement and tax evasion. When Hank makes a serious investment misstep, the two men are trapped in a downward spiral as the business unravels. As Preston’s future hangs in the balance and he faces prison, he is aided by Amanda Hale Young, the attorney who loves him. Preston realizes his irresistible desires for wealth and the love of Kate Cantrell have led him to the edge. To clear his name, he must risk losing everything he's worked for. Will he or Hank emerge as the master of the dance? Author Tamara Hanson based Mastering the Dance on real events that she watched unfold when she worked with some of the most powerful Dallasites. Fascinated by the all-too-human failings of ambition and greed, she chronicles in Mastering the Dance how easy it is to fall into a trap that can end your career or even your life.
