Our Thing

She's a good girl with the whole world at her feet.
He's a bad boy with his foot on the world. As the youngest leading ballerina in my academy, my days are set. Routine. No time for boys. Unfortunately, my mind didn't get the memo, because there is always one name playing on my lips. . . Max Butcher.
The notorious bad boy of The District.
Hot to the point of physical discomfort.
Dangerous. . .
So when he notices me, I struggle to stay en pointe.
But he finds me infuriating. A silly little girl. He wants to keep me out of his business and away from him and other men. He wants to protect my body - protect my innocence.
But not even Max Butcher can stick to his guns.
And the further into his world I'm led, the more danger gathers.
