About this listen
The Royal Ballet proudly presents the return of a beloved Christmas classic, The Nutcracker.
His eyes stick to me, burning my skin as I twirl across the stage. My legs ache with exhaustion, and my head spins, but his hunger pushes me to excellence.
His voice echoes in my mind with each step, reminding me that my best isn't enough anymore. This Christmas, he's the only thing between me and rock bottom.
Mikhail is the only director brave enough to take a has-been like me, but I'm not foolish enough to think his acts are born out of kindness. His price is high, and his demands are darker.
Snow flurries, sugar plums, and sweet magic.
I'm the broken nutcracker's doll, and I enter his world willingly knowing there's no coming back.

Story4 out of 5 stars 4
A fragile single mom hiding secrets… while somebody’s hunting her down. She’s from a wealthy and privileged background. And she never imagined she’d end up as a maid to a fierce mafia boss like me… But she’s on the run and desperately needs to find safety. And when I find out what she’s been hiding, it’s bigger than anything I’d ever imagined. Because she has a small son—and he’s just as fragile as she is.

I wasn’t looking for a hero, especially one as wickedly gorgeous as Anton Romano. I knew better than to get into bed with someone like him—both figuratively and literally. His onyx eyes weren’t the only thing dark and dangerous about him. He ignited a fire inside me, but surrendering to the flame would leave my already bruised heart in tatters. However, the self-made billionaire had found me at my lowest. So when he offered me the very thing I needed more than anything, I couldn’t refuse—his money or his touch.

I was standing in the middle of a storm when Carter Bosh asks me to dance. I should have said no, but his outstretched hand and glittering green eyes were too tempting to resist. His touch sparked a fire inside of me. His kisses thrill and soothe at the same time. But it was the tenderness in his eyes that captivated me. For one beautiful night, I was the princess to his prince. The sunrise would bring a tragic reminder that fairy tales aren't written about girls like me.

Hallie knows how to lose your best friend in one easy step. Offer him your virginity, then watch him reject you. But that was four years ago, and now she knows better. Working at Hunt’s Bull Riding School, there’s no shortage of hot young cowboys to keep her entertained. There’s no need to think about Nate Mathews, especially since he’s off on the pro bull riding tour. Out of sight, out of mind. Until Nate walks back into her life, four years older, four years hotter, and with four years of regrets behind the blue eyes she once fell in love with.

Serenity Rose Johnson has only one hope, and that's to find a pack that will treat her kindly and maybe allow her to follow her dreams of being a fashion designer. She hasn't had it easy, but somehow, she's never given up that hope, not even after her dads sold her to omega traffickers to settle their debts. Her foolish hope helps her to escape her abusers, but she finds herself alone on the side of a deserted road in the middle of winter, in the dead of night. Headlights are the last thing she sees before unconsciousness and certain death.
