Breaking Away Toni Aleo

When Nashville Assassins center Phillip Anderson's sister dies, he becomes guardian to his very angry sixteen-year-old niece, Claire. He soon discovers that the only thing that seems to heal her lonely heart is dance class. After having her heart broken in New York, Reese Allen comes home to Tennessee determined to make her dance studio one of the best in the state. When she sees Claire dance for the first time, she knows that the girl is bound for greatness and takes the troubled teen under her wing. Using dance as therapy, she suddenly finds herself bound to the young woman . . . and to her hot-as-sin uncle. Soon, Phillip and Reese are more than willing to spend just one night tangled in the sheets. One night turns into two, and two turns into three, until they find themselves in a repeated dance of One Last Time that has the potential to be something more . . . if only Reese and Claire would allow it. Can Phillip find a way to thaw the hearts of both the women in his life, or will he be forever trying to break them away from their pasts? Contains mature themes.
