Rule-breaking ballerina caught in a ruthless game.

The book offers a unique and vivid portrayal of the cut-throat competition and glamour of the ballet industry and the lives of those who perform in it. Its most distinctive feature is its protagonist, Pia, a fiercely independent and complex character who defies stereotypes and expectations. The book has received positive reviews for its engaging plot, well-developed characters, and descriptive writing.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Breaking the rules was what she liked best. That was her sport. Renegade, rebel, bad girl. Getting away with it.

Pia Soto is the sexy and glamorous prima ballerina, the Brazilian bombshell who's shaking up the ballet world with her outrageous behaviour. She's wild and precocious, and she's a survivor. She's determined that no man will ever control her destiny. But ruthless financier Will Silk has Pia in his sights, and has other ideas . . .

Sophie O'Farrell is Pia's hapless, gawky assistant, the girl-next-door to Pia's Prima Donna, always either falling in love with the wrong man or just falling over. Sophie sets her own dreams aside to pick up the debris in Pia's wake, but she's no angel. When a devastating accident threatens to cut short Pia's illustrious career, Sophie has to step out of the shadows and face up to the demons in her own life.

Prima Donna is an excitingly glamorous novel from Karen Swan, author of the bestselling Christmas at Tiffany's.
