Shine Bright

Shine Bright is a breathtaking forbidden romance about perfectionism, hidden dreams, and the one person who sees through it all. Set in the world of elite ballet, this novel features exclusive art and sprayed edges.

Just once. One night. Nothing else matters. Except him.

Lia Winslow's life seems perfect: she comes from a respected Boston family, she's beautiful, and she's the most talented dancer at the New England School of Ballet. But no one suspects that she hides her true dreams behind a façade of discipline and perfectionism, and that nothing others see in her is genuine. Dancing is the only thing she still has control over.

Or so she thought.

On the first day of her senior year, she's introduced to the new, young dance teacher—and her stomach drops. Phoenix Sutherland. The man she spent an unforgettable night with just a few weeks ago.

Seeing him again is the last thing Lia needs. She has to focus on landing the lead role in this year's Christmas production, which serves as a stepping stone to a place at a prestigious ballet company. She can't afford any distractions. What happened between them must never come to light and must never be repeated, no matter how much Phoenix gets under her skin—because for him, too, there's far more at stake than just his job.
