Aubrey Wilson has the heart of an angel. As the type of person to always trust in others, she's admirable to peers. A total darling, but with a sadness that encases her heart.

A total brooding asshole, but with a sadness that encases his heart. --- "You didn't have to hit him or anything," I lie my head on his broad, strong shoulder. "He shouldn't have touched you like that," he tucks a curl behind my ear. ~Strong Language~ ~Mild Violence~

A brisé in ballet is an intricate combination of moves but the literal translation means broken. Victoria Sherwood has a list of obligations over a mile long but it isn't until her parent's latest demand that she finally begins to crack under the pressure. This time they've asked to much from her. It's beyond what she's willing to even fake. It's beyond her will to survive. Tori finds herself on a ledge. She would do anything to escape her parents latest demand and it isn't until she meets an odd group of friends that she realizes maybe she has more options than she thought. Maybe she doesn't have to choose between obeying her parents and her will to live. She doesn't really know who these guys are or why they are there. They would have her believe it was a small twist of fate. A coincidence if you will but the more Tori gets to know them the more she realizes that they aren't just normal college guys trying to be nice. They are men on a mission and part of that mission involves bringing to light the very nightmares that brought Tori to a ledge in the first place. When Tori finds out why they are really there will she be able to move past the sting of betrayal and help them or will she be completely broken?
