Summary
Following a failed pickpocket attempt, a fall from some stage rafters, and an audition that she never imagined in her wildest dreams, Mare Barrow, street felon by day and wistful ballerina by night, one day finds herself as a dancer for Manhattan's prestigious Calore Dance Academy, owned by the filthy-rich Calore clan. More than that, her partner is Maven Calore, one of the Calore brothers himself. And the pickpocket attempt, of course, was on Maven's older brother and the heir to the Academy, Tiberias "Cal" Calore. Naturally, he orchestrated the whole incident.
A paradigm rags-to-riches success story unfolds, and as the seventeen-year-old climbs up the levels of social class, she dances a dangerous game of love and betrayal when lies are told and secrets are revealed. The gang Mare belongs to, the Scarlet Street Fighters, and the Calore clan are brutal enemies, and the girl, simple as the blood in her veins, is caught right in the crossfire of their bloody war. Mare soon discovers that the Calore family not only has a passion for ballet dancing, but an obsession for power and money. It seems that the Calores control everything, including her own life.

Summary
“Are you secure, Remus?” James asks, straining to look backwards at him.
“I’ve never been so secure in all my days,” Remus says, smushing his cheek onto James’s shoulder and closing his eyes, the sound of the girls talking ahead of them working like a familiar, soothing balm to his strained senses. “You’re now my official escort, everywhere, all the time. I’ll never walk again.”
“I thought I was the escort,” Sirius whines, turning to walk backwards, facing them. “The male one.”
“We’re all male,” Peter reminds him.
“Shhhh,” Remus says. “Sleepy.”
“He’s so cute when he’s grumpy,” James sighs.
“I’m not cute,” Remus mumbles. “Grr.”
“Shut up before I fall in love with you,” James says.
