Jocelyn Banks has always felt like an outsider – having hustled for everything in her life since her childhood in rural Louisiana. But in ballet, Jocelyn has found the thing she craves most, control.

But when her estranged mother dies, Jocelyn’s world is instantly turned upside down. Her only way out – securing a donor for her position at London’s Royal National Ballet.

Jocelyn can’t afford to lose this, but something about her sponsor, the charismatic Alistair Cavendish sets a fire in her. What she feels when she’s with him is raw and real. Swept into a world of lust and luxury, the lure of sex and power keep clawing at her.

Can Jocelyn choose between desire and duty, or is she doomed to fall into an intoxicating spiral of self-sabotage?
