The world of professional ballet is built on illusion. The illusion of perfection. The illusion of effortless beauty. The illusion of eternal love. But backstage, few members of the Union Ballet Company suffer from such illusions. Anna Glaser has dreamed of nothing but dancing professionally her entire life. And when she’s finally offered a position with Union, she takes it, giving little more than a passing thought to what she might have to give up in exchange. But Sebastian Kaplan, the director who gave her the chance, won’t forget so easily. When Anna meets Cain, who has been dubbed by the local media as Union’s most eligible bachelor, she realizes that making a deal with the devil might mean that Heaven—in the form of a gorgeous dark-haired man—is forever out of her reach. Dancers at Union know that something that glitters and shines under the stage lights can still be vicious and evil when the lights go down. Adagio is the first episode in the series The Company – an engaging drama-filled ride through the darker parts of the ballet and the lives of those who live to dance. *This book contains explicit content and is suitable for readers over 17
