Five years ago, First Force operative Grant Ketchum let the ballerina of his dreams dance right out of his life.

After her American adoptive parents had been killed in an automobile accident, Silja Ramsay returned to her birthplace, Russia, to take the position of the principal dancer for the Novikov Ballet Company. She was living her dreams, and although they had very little contact, Grant was proud of her.

The owner and director of the ballet company, Natalia Novikov, has a dark secret: her beloved ballet company is almost broke. Natalia has become so desperate for funds to keep the company afloat that she’s forced her dancers to prostitute themselves to financial contributors at exclusive after-show parties.

As the prima ballerina of the troupe, Silja has been exempt and kept in the dark about the parties, until a big-time American financier, who is obsessed with Silja, offers to bail the failing ballet company out and provide Natalia with everything she will ever need. His prerequisite: Silja must become his personal companion, live in his home, and fulfill his every desire.

Against her will, Silja is taken to the American’s mansion, but before she goes she manages to send a text to the only man who can save her, Grant:

HELP!

Now Grant Ketchum is on a mission to find his lost ballerina and rescue her from this powerful man’s subjugation. He will do anything to get her out alive.

If they survive, will he let her chasse out of his life again?

" I loved everything about the novel."~ Deal Sharing Aunt

" YES. This is everything you want in a romantic thriller. I loved it"~Sara Strand/Sara's Organized Chaos

About the Author

For twenty-six years Cindy's life whirled around a song and a dance. She was a professional dancer/choreographer for most of her adult life and never gave much thought to a writing career until 2005. She often notes: Don't ask me what happened, but suddenly I felt drawn to my computer to write about things that I have experienced with my husband's Thoroughbreds and happenings at the racetrack-she muses: they are greatly exaggerated upon of course-I've never been murdered. Viola! Cindy's first book series, Unbridled, was born. Cindy is a huge fan of romantic suspense series, and although she isn't one to make New Year's resolutions, on New Year's Day 2013 she made a commitment to write one, Into the Crossfire is the first book for The First Force Series. People are always asking Cindy: Do you miss dance? With a bitter sweet smile on her lips she tells them: Sometimes I do. I miss my students. I miss choreographing musicals, but I love writing my books, and I love sharing them with my readers. Cindy resides on her forty-five acre Thoroughbred farm with her husband and her Cocker Spaniel, Allister, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

4.0 out of 5 stars but fortunately for Silja
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2016

This book delivers intrigue, suspense and romance.

There are a lot of dark elements to this storyline. The character of Ballard Crafton exemplifies evil, but fortunately for Silja, her knight in shining armor is able to intercept her message for help before departing on another mission and arrive in time to save her.

The author does a good job of integrating several sub-plots into the storyline and successfully ties them all together. Character development is well done. Things aren’t always as they may seem, as witnessed by Tess’s revelation in the final chapter.

Favorite part:
When Grant shows up at Silja’s bedroom door at the Crafton mansion – and she falls into his arms. Even though it’s been five years, they both realize they only have eyes for one another.

The romantic sparks flying between Peyton and Casey are entertaining and promise another story down the road.

4.0 out of 5 stars To The Breaking Pointe
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2014
o The Breaking Pointe is a riveting romantic suspense story that takes the reader on one hell of an exhilarating roller coaster ride. Author Cindy McDonald weaves an intriguing suspense thriller that transports the reader between Russia and the US as they follow First Force operative Grant Ketchum, as he tries to rescue his lost love Silja Ramsay, a Russian principal ballerina with the Novikov Ballet Company, from the clutches of a ruthless wealthy American financier.

This is a gripping tale that easily draws the reader in from the beginning, and keeps them captivated and in suspense until the dramatic conclusion. This complex and multi-layered story follows Grant, who with the help and protection from his First Force team, travels to the other side of the world to rescue his unrequited love.

To The Breaking Pointe is the second book in the First Force Series. This is an exciting and fast-paced page-turner of a tale that has enough suspense, murder and romance, intriguing characters, and so many surprising twists and turns that will keep the reader on their toes. You can't help but get drawn into the story, the author provides a richly descriptive and compelling tale that will keep you sitting on the edge of your seat guessing what will happen next. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I loved how the author called upon her past dancing experience to weave a lovely romantic tale that takes the reader behind the curtains of the ballet world and mixed it with intrigue and suspense that is sure to keep the reader riveted until the surprising conclusion!

If you are looking for a riveting romantic suspense novel that will take you on a heart pumping adrenaline rush of a thrill ride, than look no further ... To The Breaking Pointe is a powerful story that will leave you breathless!
