The Dream and the Dancer — Eleanor Farnes

Sara Mervyn was a rising young ballet star. The ballet with its hard work and discipline, its triumphs and disappointments, absorbed her whole life, leaving no time for love or marriage -- or so she thought.

And so thought Jeremy Craye, wanting, not a dancer, but a wife, a mistress of his house, a mother of his children. And so thought Neil, unable to see himself as part of the life of a brilliant dancer.

It was Isobel who unwittingly sorted things out. Bitterly jealous, she tried to ruin Sara's life, but in so doing gave her the key to happiness.
