Dancing in the Grass

Book excerpt: She was living her dream until it all came tumbling down. . . Bree Thompson never expected her dance partner to drop her from a lift during rehearsal. After weeks of therapy, and subsequently losing her contract with the company, she heads back to Misty River, Maine, the hometown she left ten years ago to pursue her dream of dancing. She's determined to find a principal role with another prestigious dance company and when she does, she'll leave Misty River quicker than she can pirouette. But her aunt has other plans. Bree is asked to take over the dance studio and teach the young children the fine art of ballet. With no job and no prospects in sight, Bree decides that maybe running the studio for a little while isn't a bad idea. Until she smacks into the man she had never forgotten. Lucas Tanner, a single, over-protective dad and a successful contractor, wants to forget the tragic past that caused his daughter's partial paralysis. He also wants to forget about the woman who stole his heart ten years ago. While renovating the old dance studio, he's taken by surprise when he bumps into his old high school crush. The woman he had given his heart to. The woman he thought he'd marry. The same woman who left him behind to pursue her dream. He tells himself he should keep his distance, but when he enrolls his daughter in Bree's dance classes, it's all he can do to not dance his way into her heart. Despite the need to pursue her dream, Bree finds herself falling in love with the handsome contractor and his daughter and wonders if having a family is worth giving up her dream. * * * * If you love sweet, clean, small town romance, then you'll love this story of two people searching for love and their happily ever after.
