Dancing Away — Karenna Colcroft

What happens when a bully apologizes? Ballet dancer Merit Hartwick is about to find out. Cole Dellany, the man who broke Merit's heart with a cruel “joke” the night of their senior prom, has come to town to tell Merit how sorry he is. And to tell him that the dance they shared on prom night wasn't really a joke. Cole is gay, in the closet, and in love with Merit since high school. Now he's ready to be honest with Merit about his feelings. Several years have passed, but Merit isn't sure he can forgive Cole, let alone trust him with his heart.
