Set in Mountain Brook, Alabama, Hannah McCoy, the daughter of a wealthy CEO, spends her days at the Birmingham Dance Academy, desperately trying to earn herself a spot as a student in the renowned school Julliard.. That is if she can hold on that long. Hunted by personal demons and crushed beneath the weight of an empty home, for Hannah it feels like a daily struggle just to survive... and it's even harder when she realizes she doesn't want to.

Luke Bolter came to Alabama from a small town in Kentucky. Running from the past he's tried so hard to leave behind, he moves in with his Aunt and four cousins on a horse farm on the edge of Mountain Brook. Plagued with memories and scars from who he used to be, Luke finds comfort in the company of a little red mare named Tike. But he can't out run his past forever, especially when he's reminded every time he looks in the mirror.

Two strangers, one balancing on the edge, the other trying to talk them down, two lives connected, two worlds changed.. and one summer neither will ever forget.

Saving Grace by allie7

"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?
