Like You've Never Been Hurt - Dance, Love, Live, #2

One is at the beginning, one feels like it's the end of everything. About to lose the only thing he ever loved, Adam Pittaluga is at a crossroads in a dancing career that has hardly begun. He always wanted to be a ballet dancer, but now that it's impossible, he turns to Peridot for comfort. Peridot has been rebuilding his life after losing his ability to dance professionally, his marriage, and very nearly his daughter.
He has a lot of reasons to be leery of starting something new, especially with a man as young as Adam. Adam and Peridot have to believe that starting again can lead to love and success and that sometimes, the strength needed to love like you've never been hurt can be borrowed from unexpected places for a while. But ultimately, they must find it inside themselves to be each other's happy ending. To avoid more hurt, they'd miss the chance to dance altogether. This book was previously published.
The story has not changed, but this version includes the short story Dusty's Dance, previously only available in the series print anthology.
