Perfection. Beauty. Pain. This is life for Indigo Stevens at the famed New York School of Ballet, where there's no such thing as weakness or privacy and every movement is scrutinized and judged. Indigo hopes she'll be chosen for the company, but her ballet teachers aren't talking and their silence is confusing.
When Indigo is singled out for a coveted solo she feels her dreams are finally within reach, until she discovers she's dancing with Felipe Gonzalez, the school's smolderingly hot rising star. In the days that follow, Indigo questions everything she thought was true and finds herself making surprising choices. Will she create the life she wants or lose everything?
A story for anyone who's ever dreamed of life as a professional ballet dancer...written by someone who's lived the dream.
