Though she's still struggling to put her personal life back together a year after leaving Los Angeles, Mallory Collingswood's career is perfectly on track as she takes to the role of Leader of the London Symphony Orchestra like it's her birthright. She's determined to focus on her music and enjoy her second year back home when she's approached about a collaboration with the Royal Ballet. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that only a fool would turn down...or accept, depending on the outcome. Taking on the role will mean working harder than she ever has in her life, and performing in a way she never has alongside the Royal Ballet's brightest star. Individually, they are opposites in almost every way, but together they form a perfect pair, and for the first time in ages Mallory wonders what it would be like to love, and be loved, again.
