IN A RUT Waitress Abilene Harper has always been a bit on the shy and clumsy side. So when the reality TV spoof Dancing with the Rednecks comes to Misty Creek, Kentucky, nothing could make Abby agree to participate . . . nothing except a fifty- thousand-dollar grand prize! While she doesn't relish being laughed at, it sure would be clanged sweet to buy a truck with all the trimmings, fix up the diner for her hardworkin' mama, and send her brother to the fancy college he deserves.

BREAKIN' OUT Abby's tall, dark, and smokin'-hot dance instructor, Rio Martin, is mighty ticked when he finds out the ballroom dancing competition he signed on for is actually a joke. But Abby's spunk and determination soon have him setting his sights on winning. He whips Abby into shape, and she begin, to cha-cha and rumba her way into the hearts of the TV audience, while the chemistry between the unlikely couple sizzles. Rio tries to remain all business, but Abby has her eyes on the prize--and it isn't just the money.
