Beyond The Barre.| joeybadass

Elise Ali's life was defined by the stage until a career-ending injury forced her to abandon her dreams. Back in her hometown, she reluctantly takes a job teaching ballet while trying to figure out who she is beyond the dancer she used to be.

Jo-Vaughn Scott is twenty-eight, a familiar face from the neighborhood and someone Elise hasn't seen in years. When his little sisters enroll in Elise's ballet class, their paths cross again and an old familiarity slowly turns into something neither of them expected.

But Elise is still carrying the weight of the injury that changed her life and secrets she's determined to keep buried. Getting close to Jo-Vaughn means risking more than just her heart.
