So the Heart Can Dance by Mary Crawford

Sometimes to find yourself, you need to return to your one true love.

When Aidan O’Brien stumbles across Tara Isamu, she is nothing like the best friend he remembers and whom he’s loved since childhood. He scarcely recognizes the timid woman who stands in the place of a fearless competitor.

Life has changed them both.

Tara recalls that Aidan, the kid brother of her former dance partner, has always lived to make her laugh. If only she could figure out a way to break the news that her soul was crushed by a random act of violence.

Aidan has been in love with her as long as she can remember. Even so, Tara doesn’t know if the damaged version of herself is worth loving. It may be too much to ask of anyone.

Can they rekindle their love and grow strong in the power of music so their hearts can dance?

If you like characters with hidden strength, you’ll cheer for this couple as they overcome their pasts and triumph.

So the Heart Can Dance is the second clean and wholesome romance in the Hidden Beauty series. It can be read as a standalone novel.
