After a car accident crushes his legs, international ballet star Alex Korolev shuts himself away on his private island in Greece. His solitude is interrupted when his brother Nick arrives with an elfin dancer, Gina Ricci. Her empathy and encouragement ignite a new hope in Alex. Her velvet eyes ignite other feelings, too-feelings a man should never have for his brother's woman. Falling in love is not on Gina's agenda. Nick is just a harmless fling--her ballet career comes first. But when she meets Alex, her heart insists otherwise. As she wrestles with her emotions, she discovers Nick is not as harmless as he seems--and he's willing to murder to keep Alex from having her.
