"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?

The Castillo's Caregiver
COMPLETED Olivia Washington is running away. Not just from her life in New York, not just from her old job and not just from her past... She has packed parts of her life into boxes, and she is going headfirst to the first opportunity of a new life, all the way in Massachusetts, where the world-famous Raphael Castillo, owner of CASTACKS has hired her to be his personal nurse and caregiver. It's a dream job until the perks come in the form of his tall, handsome, olive-skinned, Italian billionaire son, Leonardo Castillo whose arrogance irks her in the worst way and yet... draws her to him in the best way. One very first and explosive encounter sends a whirlwind of emotional backlashes, heated moments, drunken mishaps, dark secrets, and lustful and forbidden acts into play. It's passionate. It's dangerous. It's a type of life she would not have lived had she not kissed those lips of his, had she not let him touch her with those gentle hands, had she not let him draw out her deepest moans. Even though he had a heartbreak reputation. Even though he would rather be spotted dead than with her in public. Even though he had his own demons that would throw them into chaos over and over. He was fire and she played with it... amidst the growing tension of family secrets between father and son, and the risky health of her employer. But when the heated moments are no longer just moments, and the forbidden actions don't feel so forbidden, Olivia must decide how long she can play this game to keep her job, as wounds start to open, secrets start to spill and danger comes to light.Completa

There are several members of B-Troupe who want one of the three alternate spots, and Heathcliff just so happened to be one. Heathcliff and her weren't friends, but they weren't enemies, either. They were just... acquaintances. However, when they make the team as alternates, their story is just beginning. Through her sister's betrayal, all the competitions, all the insecurities, she and Heath support each other. Their journey isn't always smooth sailing, but they're always there for each other.
