𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦 𝘚𝘺𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘸 is eighteen and already very good at disappearing. At the Royal Ballet School, she is known for her discipline-how hard she works, how little she needs, how easily she endures. She is anxious, observant, and quietly falling apart in ways no one seems to notice. Leanne wants to be perfect, not because she loves perfection, but because she believes it is the only way to be seen, to matter, to be cared for without having to ask. 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳 is thirty-six and impossible to ignore. A former prima ballerina turned Artistic Director, she is precise, controlled, and feared for her standards. She understands power, hierarchy, and the discipline that keeps institutions standing. Desire, for Vera, is not reckless-it is deliberate. When she gives attention, it feels earned. When she withholds it, it feels final. She does not fall easily but when she does, it is consuming. 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐑 is a dark psychological wlw novel set in the world of elite ballet, where discipline is currency, silence is rewarded, and the line between being guided and being claimed is dangerously thin.

Stephanie Walker is eighteen, moving across the country from Los Angeles to New York to begin her dream: law school at NYU. A new city, a new home, new friends, new everything. She's excited, but sleepless nights, old wounds, and quiet struggles follow her everywhere. She wants to live like any other college student, to blend in, to feel normal, but life hasn't been simple, and surviving on her own is harder than she expected. Every late night, every study session, every solitary drive home reminds her that life doesn't come with easy answers. Some nights, she leans on quiet habits she'd never tell anyone about, just to make it to morning. Elena Shay is thirty-two, NYU's Dean and a respected law professor. Her life is built on control, precision, and endless responsibility. At work, she's commanding, elegant, untouchable. Outside it, she's soft, warm, and human, but never careless. Elena doesn't date casually; she doesn't waste time or energy on anything that isn't worth it. She's deliberate, certain, and careful... Until Stephanie. Stephanie isn't just another student. She's sharp, captivating, and unafraid to be herself in a way that draws Elena in deeper than it should. Suddenly, the carefully maintained line between professional and personal life begins to blur. The rules, the expectations, the life Elena's worked so hard to control all scream that nothing between them can ever happen. And yet, the pull becomes impossible to ignore. As their worlds collide, Stephanie discovers a side of life she's never dared to touch: warmth, comfort, attention, and desire from someone who sees her fully, not as a girl with a "rough" childhood, but as a woman. Together, Elena and Stephanie fall into chaos, vulnerability, and longing they didn't know they were missing. Every glance, every touch, and every moment carries risk. Risk of exposure, of judgment, of everything crashing down, all shaped by the choices resting in their hands.
