Chasing Dreams

After his wife abandoned him and their daughter, Tanner Ross has decided to never fall in love again. Running a teen center and focusing on his eight-year old daughter has completely taken over his life. Izzy Harper is a professional ballerina who suffered a career-ending injury and has returned home to the small town of Cedar Hill to open her own dance studio. When Tanner takes his daughter to sign her up for dancing lessons, the sparks begin to fly between Tanner and Izzy immediately. Each having their own past demons, they are unsure if they should follow their hearts, or continue to remain only friends. 

“Chasing Dreams” is the first novel in the Harper Family series by Nancy Stopper. This love story will capture readers’ attention and hearts from the first page. The characters are each strong and compassionate. Who cannot fall in love with a single father who always puts his daughter’s well-being first?  The immediate attraction they feel for each other is overwhelming, and at times it feels as though their connection is a bit rushed.  Nonetheless, this is a charming yet steamy romance that will entice readers to want to read the remaining books in the series. Ms. Stopper has woven a magical tale including angst, fear, love, commitment, and unforgettable heartwarming characters!
