Synopsis:
Her past is wrought with demons.
His past is full of heartbreak.
Yet he’s the one person that can remind her what it means to live.
Abbi Jenkins never thought she would leave the walls of the mental institution that’s housed her for the last year. Now she has, but that doesn’t mean she’s forgotten everything Pearce put her through.
She knows there’s only one way to deal with the depression that claws at her mind each day, and ballet becomes more than a hobby, a dream. Ballet – and Julliard – becomes a reason to live. Something to hold on for.
Blake Smith left London for one reason and one reason only. Running from the heartbreak of his past was never something he wanted to do, but with constant reminders everywhere he turned, it became his only option. When he arrives in New York City, he vows he’ll keep the promise he made to his sister and get into Juilliard.
But he doesn’t expect to be paired with Abbi in class, the girl whose eyes show a world of pain he’s seen before. Pain he knows too well. As each hour they spend together pulls them closer, Blake can’t fight his need to save her from herself.
Lines blur as their pasts are wrenched into the open, and they have to ask themselves whether they’re too broken to ever to be fixed, or if they’re the healing the other needs.

Excerpt:
#1:
Blake:
I
tap her on the shoulder. “Do you want to …”
A
pair of startlingly light blue eyes crash into mine. Blue.
That’s what color they are. It’s
the kind of blue that makes you stop dead and instantly makes you
think of a crisp summer’s day, complete with beer and a barbecue.
It’s also the kind of blue that shows everything – the hue too
pale to hide shadows lurking beneath – it’s the flicker of
darkness that makes me pause and stare at her.
I’ve
seen those shadows before.
I
know how they linger, barely scratching the surface before pulling
you under. And I know the climb is always harder than the fall … If
you’re lucky enough to get a grip on the climb.
“Do
I …?” she questions shyly, raising her hand to her face then
dropping it again.
“Um.”
I cough and scratch the back of my neck. Her hesitant smile reminds
me what I’ve actually approached her for. “Do you want to dance
together? Since we have to pair off. You know. Yeah.”
Shit.
I sound like an awkward teen boy who has no idea how to speak to a
girl.
Her
smile stretches a little and her eyes flit around the dance hall.
Everyone is paired off and talking to each other quietly.
“I
… Sure,” she replies.
“Great.
I’m Blake. Blake Smith.”
“Abbi
Jenkins.” Abbi’s hand slips into my outstretched one. My fingers
curl around her smaller ones, but my focus isn’t on the silky
smooth skin against mine; it’s on the gentleness of her tone and
the way her lips moved when she said her name.
“Abbi,”
I repeat. “Have you danced long?”
“Since
I was eight.” She takes her hand from mine and clasps both of hers
in front of her stomach protectively. “We all need a little
something to escape in, right?”
Right.
“Definitely.”
