Dancing in the Grass by Lori DiAnni

Bree Thompson, a principal ballerina for the Bay City Ballet Company, never expected her dance partner to drop her during rehearsal, resulting in a devastating injury. After weeks of therapy, and 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 job with another prestigious ballet company soon and when she does, she’ll leave Misty River quicker than she can pirouette.
Lucas Tanner, a single, over-protective dad and a successful contractor, wants to forget the tragic past that caused his daughter’s disability. He’s taken by surprise when he bumps into Bree, the woman who has had his heart since high school. He tells himself he should keep his distance, because he doesn’t need another broken 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.
Lucas knows Bree is the type of woman his daughter needs for a mother and the woman he wants for a wife.
Will Bree give up her dream for a chance at love and family?
