Dancing in the Dark<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dusty Cavanaugh has loved Kendra since she walked into the school cafeteria and captured a dozen boyish hearts with the sweep of her stormy gray-green gaze and the lift of her chin. College, marriage, and children had been the plan. Then their dreams vanished like morning fog. He\u2019d had his own baby. Without her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kendra Price had never wanted to be rich, but wanted to be comfortable, which she was. She\u2019d never wanted fame, but to live her passion to the fullest and dance, which she did. She\u2019d wanted to marry Dusty, have babies and live happily ever after. Which would never happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There had been no roadmap for life apart. Will love be enough to guide them back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
