From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing comes a new contemporary romance about the summer a celebrated dancer returns home and unearths years of family secrets and deep regrets with the Coast Guard rescue swimmer she never forgot.

Elite ballerina Allie Rousseau is no stranger to pressure. With her mother's eyes always watching, perfection was expected, no matter the cost. But when an injury jeopardizes all she's sacrificed for, Allie returns to her summer home to heal and recover. But the memories she's tried to forget rush in and threaten to take her under.

As a Coast Guard rescue swimmer, Hudson Ellis knows that hesitation can mean the difference between life and death. He's always prided himself on being in the right place at the right time, especially when it came to Allie Rousseau...until the night he left for basic. After the biggest regret of his life, the secrets he keeps mean he can never be with the one woman he wants more than his next breath.

When Hudson's niece shows up on Allie's doorstep, desperate to find her birth mother, Allie finds herself in an unimaginable position. Allie and Hudson's past and present might be endlessly complicated. The thread that tied them to each other all those years ago may have unraveled, but the truth could pull them back together, or drive them apart forever.

Variation (2024)/Profundezas (2025): Rebecca Yarros e o mundo do balé profissional

Alessandra Rousseau (Allie) é uma das quatro filhas de Sophie Langevin-Rousseau, lendária bailarina da Merropolitan Ballet Company de Nova York que sempre sacrificou tudo pelo balé, principalmente as filhas.
Hudson Ellis a salvou de um barco que estava afundando em Cape Cod quando eram adolescentes e só se reencontram onze anos depois pelas ações da sobrinha adotiva dele, Juniper, que procura sua mãe biológica e quer ter aulas de balé.
O título em inglês faz menção a uma variação de Giselle: "Maybe not the days your mom harped on you, but the day you danced that routine from Giselle instead of whatever she’d picked out for you . . . that was love up there, and passion, and excitement. I saw it in your eyes.” “Variation,” I [Allie] muttered, dismissing most of his words. “It’s called a variation.”
Mas em português ficou Profundezas, lançado em 2025.
Romance de bailarina com um sarado nadador de resgate da Guarda Costeira que traz muitos segredos a serem revelados ambientado no mundo do balé, mídia social, luta por papéis nas produções com uma menina de 10 anos muito determinada e uma fofa golden retriver fazem parte desta leitura gostosa.
