My whole life has been a dress rehearsal—for this moment.

I was deceived, then ruined.

Turns out Daniela Harrington—Principal Dancer at Driven Dance Theater, social media influencer, and NYC socialite—isn’t invincible.
My reputation is shot.
No fault of my own, of course.

Well, maybe a little bit.

The Stars Gala is my last chance to resurrect my career.
All I have to do is dance in a duet I despise.
For a live broadcast.
In one week.
With the one person who haunts me most.

Jonas Knight is my childhood best friend, the gorgeous Ballet Royal lead who turned me down every time I threw myself at him.

He used to protect me.
We were inseparable.
Now he’s moved to London, and soared, leaving me behind.

I can’t bear the thought of him seeing me like this.

How deep can old feelings run?
Movement is transparent.
So how can I dance with the man I’ve been in love with forever—without the whole world calling me out?
