Risking Ever After — Stephanie Hoffman McManus

At twenty-one, Claire Preston knows her dream of becoming one of the top dancers with the most prestigious ballet company in the country is within reach, while every night Damien "Spade" Slater lives out his dream on stage, playing hard and then partying harder. Both are so far from the small town pasts they left behind and the people who said they'd never make it. She's disciplined, determined, focused . . . He's Rock 'N' Roll's current favorite bad boy and the last single man standing in Ashes and Embers now that the rest of the band has settled down . . . She follows the rules . . . He believes rules are meant to be broken . . . So what happens when she decides to break them, when one night, one reckless decision costs her the only dream she's ever had? What happens when the only person she can turn to for help is the last person in the world she thinks she can depend on?
