Description

The dancer.The victim.The sister.I’ve worn a lot of labels over the years. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to escape. I hid in my dance. I ran away from my life as much as I could. I fought to be somewhere else, even if I couldn’t be someone else. One night, after my partner lashed out at me and I’d been hurt, the Vandals took me and never looked back. They introduced me to a world I had no idea existed and a family so much greater than the one I’d been trying to survive.I gave myself up once to protect them.I’ve fought for them.I’ve bled for them.I’ve killed for them.And I’d do it all again if it keeps them safe.My name is Emersyn Sharpe.  I was born Ivy Hardigan.  When the Vandals kidnapped me, I had no idea how life-changing it would be or how I would find real love. More, I found my place in this world.  To have the future I want, I will finally wage war on the past.FIERCE DANCER is a full-length mature dark, new adult romance with enemies-to-lovers/love-hate themes.
