Born into the dynamic energy of New York City, Anyaskaya d’Borovik, a stunning dancer and choreographer, embodies a unique blend of her white Russian exile mother’s adventurous background and her father’s mysticism. Despite being thoroughly American, Anya reconciles these clashing traits with a distinct and believable characterization, earning her a place in both high society and heralded artistic circles. Her raven-haired beauty and exceptional talent captivate everyone. In her quest to secure financing for a crucial dance performance, Anya’s path crosses with Henri Mellington, an heir to an international banking fortune, sparking a chain of dire complications. Despite her efforts to avoid it, she also encounters Salvatore ‘Sonny Boy’ Aiello, a captivating figure from the tough streets of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, with a colorful and potentially lethal past. As their love story unfolds with surging tension, the power and privilege of the Mellingtons ultimately prevail, and the “star-crossed lovers” face the bitter consequences with a taste of pity and sorrow.
