Dani Rosewood was never the queen bee. Even after dropping thirty pound to pursue her dream of becoming a professional dancer, she never felt truly beautiful - definitely not desirable like Jess, her best friend who changes boyfriends every six months. But one thing Dani always knew: she'd get into the Academy and dance ballet until retirement.
Then she tags along with Jess to an audition she wasn't supposed to attend - and something, or someone, starts to unravel her plans.
His name is Austin Blackwell. A young, ambitious music producer with a cold heart and a dangerously perfect jawline. Austin has one goal: to build the next best thing in music industry: the next-gen girl group - and prove to his distant father - the owner of a massive entertainment empire - that he's worthy of the budget he demands. When he sees Dani dance, he's speechless. And he's not letting her go.
But is the mission he took on too big for him? Can you succeed in the industry without losing yourself - or the people you care about? And is Dani - sensitive, perfectionist Dani - truly built for a world that exposes, critiques, and tests you at every turn?
Between the lines: Is Austin's interest in Dani purely professional - or is something about to break the rules?
A story about ambition, desire, and jealousy. About the painful price of fame. And about love and friendship blooming in the most unexpected places - changing you from the inside out.
Content warning: Dani's journey includes emotional and physical struggles related to self and body-image. The story contains references to eating disorders and may be triggering for some readers.
