Dance was my obsession.
Desire was my undoing.
***
As a young dancer, Sylvie Carter has a list of rules for making it big in the ballet world. Avoid drama. Don't do drugs. Skip dessert. And of course, never sleep with another dancer. Ballet is a cutthroat profession, and she can't afford a scandal.
Not again...
But when she meets renowned Italian dancer Alessandro Russo, an electrifying encounter has her throwing out the rulebook. And as he tempts her into the darkness she swore she'd left behind, she wonders if this relationship will be the making of her... or if it will cost her everything.
***
A brand new dark ballet romance, perfect for fans of Ana Huang, Colleen Hoover and Mia Sheridan:
'Jealousy, pain and dance set in the harsh world of elite ballet'
'It was dark, there were twists, it was hot!'
'Spicy, explicit, forbidden romance'
'SO risque'
