The Ruined Dancer

The Story

Nora Dean spent five years chasing a dance title to win her mother-in-law’s approval. Adrian Foster’s acceptance as her husband depended on her ultimate victory. She stands close to that goal, but years of silence and sacrifice have hollowed her out. The man who once gazed at her with fascination now barely registers her presence. The love she fought so hard to prove she deserved feels like a ghost. Nora is no longer certain that affection exists between them at all.
