Bella Swan is a writer that is on a trip of a lifetime. Edward Cullen is a famous actor, whose life is a blur of film-sets, hotels and screaming fans. A destined encounter and a battle of mind over matter erupt amongst sensual music and a shared longing.

Edward and Bella share a class at the University of Washington-and not much else. She's shy and reserved as she adjusts to her new life in Seattle. He's angry and isolated because of his upbringing in LaVerrot, a secretive, gated community. They're drawn together, but secrets of her past, and revelations of his pure lifestyle, threaten to keep them apart.

There is mention of sexual abuse and rape in this story. Please avoid if this is a trigger.

Addictions are never easy to cope with and Bella is all too familiar with their destructive power as she struggles with the nightmares from her past. It isn't until the Cullens arrive in Forks that Bella realizes if she doesn't get out now, her addictions will stick with her for life.

Thank you to Maddux for the fantastic banner! It is genius and I love it! :)

Welcome to the Academy! Bella Swan, former American Ballet Academy Prima Ballarina and Ballroom dancer, finds herself employed with her friend Alice Cullen at Alice's families dance academy. As a Seattle institution the Volterra Academy of Dance received national acclaim when the dance prodigy signed on, but is that the only purpose when the Cullens hired Ms. Swan or did they have hopes that she could teach more than just the students something? Edward hasn't placed competitively since his partner left him high and dry three years ago. That was when he came to teach ballroom at his family's school. He's convinced he's happy, spreading the love for dance through the younger generation, but that all changed when he spied a brown haired stranger. He saw the way she moved at the club and now he can't get her out of his head. He tells himself that it's best that he doesn't know who she is. He doesn't want another woman in his life to complicate things. It would be best just to forget her, so why can't he. What will happen when he finds out that the girl he can't forget is the new ballet instructor at the Academy? More importantly can they ignore the chemistry that they have from the beginning? Will Bella shake Edward out of his shell and will he find the strength to get out and dance again? Can she teach him to leave it all on the floor? Find out
