Until she's taken by the devil. Kidnapped by a rival boss, Daniela becomes a pawn between two powerful forces, and just another casualty in a bloody game of chess.

Thrown in at the deep-end when she gets a scholarship to an elite ballet Academy, Carly's only saving grace is her handsome personal tutor, Mr. Langley. Her ballet is below par, her classmates dislike her, and her only friend cares more about the environment than her. Even Mr. Langley dislikes her... at first. But as everything else goes downhill, their relationship blossoms into something passionate and intense. Their relationship is forbidden, but can they find a way to be together?

After a near-fatal overdose, 20-year-old Anya DeSotto is powerless to stop her dream of being a professional ballerina from pirouetting far out of reach... Until Revend Marcus, the owner of a prestigious - if crumbling - ballet company reluctantly offers his expertise. But Revend's attempts to reawaken her passion are unorthodox and dangerous, and soon both of them are caught up in an intimate dance more intricate than any pas de deux. As a shadow from Revend's past looms over their futures, Anya's insecurities and buried trauma pushes their dance to a violent crescendo, one which threatens to destroy them both. Though, sometimes, even destruction can be pretty perfect.
