PRANCING AROUND WITH SLEEPING BEAUTY
By: Stacy Juba
The Plot:
This Sleeping Beauty isn’t sure she wants to
wake up…
Dance instructor Rory Callahan
likes to play it safe. When she meets
Kyle, he‟s impulsive, persistent, and her
exact opposite. He‟s pushing her to
tango way past her comfort zone and
keeping Rory on her toes more than
twenty years of dance teachers ever had.
Unfortunately, he‟s the grandson
of her family‟s archrival, and she does-
n‟t want to disappoint them. After all,
her parents imagine her as a proper princess—hence her name:
Aurora, a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty. Complicating matters, Rory‟s also
dealing with a surgeon boyfriend who‟s perfect for her (sort of),
an obnoxious boss, and desperate dance moms. Kyle wants to
change her whole life, but Rory doesn‟t like the stakes. After all,
princesses are the ones who get the happy endings...aren‟t they?
An Excerpt
High above the crowded beach, an airplane skimmed the
cloudless blue sky, its hum a distant whine over the thunderous
surf. Behind it trailed a banner with red block letters. Cupping
her hand over her brow, Rory Callahan squinted in the glaring
sunlight.
WILL YOU MARRY ME, RORY?
She gasped, and her bare feet pressed into the gritty sand.
Rory gripped the sides of her sunken beach chair. Her boyfriend,
Dr. Brad Walker, a general surgery medical resident at Mountain
View Medical Center, occupied the second chair, engrossed in a
sports magazine and oblivious to the romantic gesture—or pre-
tending he was oblivious.
Rory had accompanied him to the Jersey Shore for his par-
ents‟ thirtieth anniversary party. When Brad suggested a morning
at the beach before driving back to the Catskills, she never ex-
pected a marriage proposal. Her stomach clenched, the semi-
queasy reaction surprising her.
