Dancer Seeks Mountain Man by Marley Michaels

Grace Madison was living her dream as a professional ballerina, then with one fall, her future suddenly wasn’t so certain. So, when her parents suggest she escapes to Kenshaw, Alaska to stay with her Great Aunt and start her own dance studio, she’s skeptical but open to whatever fate has in store for her–starting with learning more about the intriguing, handsome, yet somewhat quiet man who can barely utter a word to her.
Huxley Reid lives and breathes the Homestead life on Bear Mountain–it’s where he’s always felt at home. But his inability to speak to women has severely affected his dating options and concerns him to no end. How is a man who turns mute in front of a beautiful woman supposed to answer the mountain’s call? .

When the new dance teacher arrives in town, Huxley’s reaction tells him he won’t have long to figure it out. The call is here, and he needs to answer it before Grace’s old life returns to tempt her away from the mountain–and him.
With that in mind, Huxley vows to overcome his fear, untie his tongue, and get to know Grace. But it’s easier said than done.

Lucky for Huxley, Grace can talk enough for the both of them. And if she can just hang in there long enough, she might just find there’s a rough, tough mountain man waiting for her under that stoic exterior. And Huxley just might find the courage to go after what he wants. Because if he’s doing this, he’s only doing it once. There’s a first time for everything, right?
