*Sophia* Victor Cantrell is the premier balletmaster on the west coast. I could never afford to take a class with him, let alone a private training session. Even watching him train another dancer feels like it could put me in debt. And yet I can't look away, even when he catches me watching. He says he has another way for me to pay, though, and he's not taking no for an answer. He's strict, methodical, and totally in control. He's also twice my age and his instruction methods are barbaric as hell. So why does the idea of letting him put his hands on me send my mind floating and my whole body tingling? I should refuse his offer, but I know that he's just as capable of making me a star as he is of breaking me, and if I can survive his training then he could make all my dreams come true. *Victor* Sophia is flawed, as a dancer and a person. She has no idea how much she has left to learn, how much I could teach her. I want to put her under the pressure of my training and see exactly how long she lasts. I've never had a student who could meet my expectations, and I doubt she'll do any better than the rest but I'll enjoy the process of breaking her. Sophia's resilience is unmatched, though, and her obedience surprises me at every turn. For the first time in my career I'm closer to creating perfection than I ever have before, but if she continues to let me do as I please I run the risk of ruining her, or worse, falling in love.

Everyone knows that the world of competitive dance is tough. Hailee Dermott learnt this from a young age from dancers and parents who she danced with and against. She managed to push it all to the side to get a spot in the American Ballet Theatre Company. At age 19 she was one of the youngest one in the company so she felt like she had to prove herself. The company is tight knit but it is still tough because everyone is still competing for the main roles in the ballet. Especially when the upcoming ballet is Swan Lake. Hailee knows that she is a good dancer but working with dancers years older with years more of training with her makes her doubt herself. She feels a need to push herself even harder and work even harder.
