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.

Story
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.

Story
I wake up chained to the bed of a stranger. He says I’m his wife. I have nothing—no money. No friends. No escape. He’s everything I never imagined: ruthless, calculating, feared. A beautiful monster with a face like a god’s, cold and untouchable. A mafia kingpin whose wealth could buy empires and whose power makes the world tremble. My captor. My husband.

No one walks away from Grayson Stryker... except Ella. Why did she leave? Where did she go? Why the hell does he still care three years later? Grayson is busy managing his family's drama and their billions. He doesn't have time to wonder about the gorgeous, one-in-a-million girl who got away... and never even bothered to say goodbye. But when Ella suddenly stumbles back into his life, Grayson can't help but wonder: could they ever get over their past and make a new future?

Story
With no other choice but to move out and quit my job, I'm forced to exist on ramen and stay in a cheap motel while I figure out my life. Just when it's starting to look like Santa didn't read my letters, I land a seasonal job at Wrap It Up, where the holiday spirit is sorely lacking. It's easy to see why when the three owners are known as the Three Scrooges. Hot, rich, and grumpy will only get them coal in their stockings unless they can turn staff morale around.

Falling for my brother's best friend was not on my to-do list . . . But neither was kissing him the night before he was traded to a team across the country. Clearly, I didn't think things through and I spent the past decade trying to bury the memory of him. He left and I had no choice but to move on after he seemingly forgot about me. I dove headfirst into my career and after a failed relationship left me a single mom, I had no time for any other distractions that came my way.

As a vampyr who was born to fulfill a prophecy, my life was planned before I was created. I obeyed every rule, and I became the perfect vampyr, but one night changed everything. Rejected by the man who was destined for me, who was supposed to love me forever, I do the only thing I can. I flee into the night, nursing my broken heart.

Story
Wren Ballard is trying to find herself. She never expected to be divorced at twenty-seven, but now that the court date has passed, it's official. The paperwork is final. Her feelings on it aren't. Spending the summer in a small mountain town outside Seattle is exactly what she needs. The peaceful scenery is a given, the cat with the croaky meow is a surprise, but the real kicker? A broody neighbor with nice arms, a strange reputation, and absolutely no interest in her.
