About this ebook

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Vivian Wood comes a new forbidden billionaire student-teacher romance. Fans of The Stopover by TL Swan, The Fine Print by Lauren Asher, and My Dark Romeo by Parker S. Huntington and LJ Shen will love this book.

A billionaire ballet patron. A beautiful young dancer. An accidental meeting that turns into a sizzling, scandalous, steamy affair.

Rich bachelor Calum meets a good girl turned exotic dancer one night in the lavish VIP room of a club. He’s immediately drawn to her gorgeous body and sultry yet innocent eyes. Pretty Kaia seems to want him too… but maybe she is a better liar than he thinks.

When they next meet, sweet little Kaia is auditioning to join the big city ballet that he just so happens to practically own. She looks like a deer in headlights, as it is a strict rule that ballerinas do not have side jobs.

But Calum has a mutually beneficial offer for her. Sign a contract. Live in his penthouse. Be at his beck and call, at any time, in every single way he can think of. And in exchange, he keeps his mouth closed and pays her a lavish stipend.

Kaia can’t resist his callous, possessive demand. But once he has Kaia all to himself, setting her free again becomes a passionate struggle…

If you love off limits, forbidden student-teacher romances, wild nights at adult entertainment clubs, and wealthy men deceiving everyone to get the woman they fall in love with, this book is made for you! It's the first of three books in a lavish, decadent, sizzlingly hot trilogy and features no cheating + an (eventual) HEA.

Somewhat a cliff hanger, it took so long to develop then it ends. I didn't know that I have to buy the second copy/ book to know what happens next......I just wasted my time on this book💔😥

This starts off so intriguing and had me hooked from the very beginning. Kaia and Calum have amazing chemistry. The author gives you just enough to hook you and then leaves you to wait for the next book.

Holy moly! I didn't think I liked ballet till this book! Ms. Wood has pulled ne in with this book. Who knew it could be so viscous. Callum and Kaia’s story is dark, unexpected, twisted, filled with hidden agendas, secrets and more. These two are blistering hot together. What lengths will they go to in order to get what they want? Is the price to high? What will they sacrifice? This book was one I could not put down! I was all in! This story took me on wild ride of emotions. Intense, surprised, angsty, shocked, sad and happy to name a few. This is a must read book! I cannot wait for the next book The Dancer. Check it out and see what I am talking about!
