Felix
Dancing is everything to me. Itâs the mother I lost, the father who never sees me. Itâs the fiery love of my life, and Iâll defend it to my last breathâthatâs what it means to be the lead principal at one of the best ballet companies in the world. Just when I thought I was on top, my greatest rivalâmy eternal nemesisâwaltzes back into my life: Nicoló Savini. The ache in my bones and the bane of my existence.
If he thinks Iâll sit back and let him steal my spotlight, heâs sorely mistaken. No oneâs taking this from meânot my father, not my ridiculously hot rival, and certainly not the confusing feelings that twist inside me every time I see Nico dance up close. Heâll regret coming here, to my city, my company. Iâll make damn sure of it.
Nico
Felix Taylor-Brooke has been my fiercest competition for years. I should loathe everything about him: his entitlement, his arrogance, that painfully captivating beauty. Felix was born for ballet; I was forged by it. People call us rivals, but thatâs just the surface matter. Anyone who bothers to look any closer would see thereâs something else simmering beneath, something weâve both been fighting against for years.
When I walked away from ballet two years ago, I thought I was free. But then I was offered the one thing Iâd always wanted, and I knew Iâd regret not seeing this through. I know heâll hate it, and I know heâll likely make my life a waking nightmare, but honestly, I donât sleep that well anyway. We might kill each other, but if we donât, then we might be about to take on the greatest roles of our lives.
