"Everything you see when I dance is who I am. The shell that holds my acceptance is shrouded in the art of my deception, of the secret I hold…And therefore I beg you not to make me describe or relive it.”
Lucia Hudson is a dancer; her passion of the profession is as great as the majesty and grace in which she moves. But after the Incident, it is a subject shunned within her family, and her heart, already filled with sorrow, has to plough through the guilt of her pursuing the one thing that brings her to the emotionless state that allows her to continue down the path her mother never chose - life.
So when Christian Delmont - a well-known, rich bachelor within her social circuit - announces a dance competition that brings all elite dancers around the world to the stage with a chance to sky-rocket their careers to the top, will Lucia finally be able to conquer her now dark shrouded performances and win?
Or will her secret life of emptiness and safe harbour from her family's heart ache be a more tempting path to continue to tread on?
