His death should have brought her peace. But proving her innocence might just kill her...
When Adeline Hartwell, a ballerina on the cusp of stardom, stands accused of murdering her boyfriend, she finds herself backed into a corner. No one will ever believe her when his blood still coats her hands, so when a district owner offers her a tempting deal-his legal help for her talent-she understands this might be her only chance at freedom. While preparing for a performance that will define her career and a trial that will determine her future, a series of threats ends up taped to her vanity mirror. Adeline must find a way to leave behind the shadows of her past while unraveling the mystery of who's trying to sabotage her dance career before it can begin.
He's been in love with her since her first audition. Telling her, however, is out of the question.
After being bailed out of jail, Adeline shows up on her artistic director's doorstep with nowhere else to go. Jin Collins takes her in and offers her a place to stay, quickly realizing that concealing his feelings for her proves to be far more difficult when there isn't a studio separating them anymore. He knows he has no right to love her while she's grieving, so instead of admitting the truth, he does all he can to protect her-even if it means striking a deal of his own.
Resisting temptation is a small price to pay for her happiness, but what if temptation is the only means of healing a past worth forgetting...
