Venom and Grace

Chloe Bourgeois never thought ballet would become her lifeline. What started as a secret stress-relief outlet-her movements mirroring the classical melodies she once dismissed-has now blossomed into a passion with professional aspirations. For once, it seems like life is bending to her will. But when Luka Couffaine returns to Paris after leaving his NYC band, the balance she's fought so hard to maintain begins to falter.

Luka, searching for a sense of purpose after abandoning the stage, finds inspiration in the most unlikely of muses: Chloe Bourgeois. The elegant dancer with the sharp tongue and turbulent past becomes the center of his creative world. But Chloe's not used to being seen beyond the surface she so meticulously crafted, and Luka has never been one to shy away from life's dissonant notes.
As their lives intertwine, old wounds, unspoken dreams, and a shared love for their crafts draw them together. But will the strings of their lives harmonize, or will their individual ambitions and pasts pull them apart?

In a city that thrives on drama, secrets, and second chances, Chloe and Luka are about to discover that the hardest dance is the one where you can't control the tempo. Can they find a way to make it work, or will their duet fall apart before the curtain even rises?
