Summary

Dance was her obsession.

Desire was her undoing.

Sylvie Carter has broken every rule on her way to the top of her profession. But the ballet world is as unforgiving as it is ruthless. When a devastating scandal erupts, Sylvie alone is blamed, and loses everything she’s ever worked for. She vows never to make the same mistake again. But when Sylvie is magnetically drawn to renowned dancer Alessandro Russo, once again her world starts to spiral.

From New York to Vienna and Paris, Sylvie is caught between the glamorous and dark side of ballet. Challenged, both professionally and personally, her ambition sparks a journey of redemption and sexual awakening as she embarks on an intense and passionate relationship that could be the making of her… or cost her everything…

About an inspiring ballerina

If this life in the corps then I am glad I opted for another profession. Bit boring.

More sex than ballet!

I'm interested in ballet & so was looking forward to this book. But it was more about the sex lives of the characters than anything else!
