Firsts and Lasts — Annette Lyon

Dani has failed in her dreams to catch a break as a dancer in New York, but before she heads home to the Midwest, she decides to visit the places still on her to-see list. Then she meets Mark, another transplant to the Big Apple with big dreams of his own. Except Mark hasn't given up on his. As they spend the day together, Dani realizes that even though she hasn't hit the big time, she may be able to live her dreams after all. Only one problem: she's broke and has a one-way ticket home.FIRSTS AND LASTS originally appeared in the SUMMER IN NEW YORK COLLECTION from TIMELESS ROMANCE ANTHOLOGIES.
