But the lust and magnetizing lure of power and prestige keep clawing at her, ultimately forcing her to choose between desire and duty.

A Good Morning America's Buzz Pick

"Choreographer Hamrick follows up First Position with another seductive tale of the ballet world’s glamour and darkness. Hamrick satisfies with her twisty drama, where bad actors get their just desserts, and she delivers fine character work, as in her portrayal of Jocelyn’s reckoning with the sacrifices Brandy made for her. Readers will be swept off their feet."—Publishers Weekly

"I was wowed by Melanie's first offering, First Position, but this story absolutely consumed me on another level. It was hot, dark and provocative in the most sophisticated, beautiful way. I lived through Jocelyn's journey... The Unraveling is a triumph, packed full of erotic angst, gut-wrenching loss, conflict and merciless ambition. Wildly good!"—Jodi Ellen Malpas, international bestselling author of This Man and the One Night trilogy
