Publisher's Synopsis
Beauty and the Beast with a Mafia Twist
Nessa Griffin leads a lonely life. Compassionate and gentle, she fills no role in her family's mafia empire. She struggles to prove herself at home and at her highly-competitive ballet corps.
Mikolaj Wilk is the most vicious gangster in Chicago. His adoptive father saved him from the streets of Warsaw, only to die at the hands of the Griffins.
Bent on revenge, Mikolaj abducts Nessa, holding her captive in his mouldering gothic mansion. As he plots the destruction of everything she holds dear, he finds himself fixated on his little ballerina's newest dance.
Terrified by the growing tension with her kidnapper, Nessa loses herself in a dark fairytale ballet that parallels their increasingly twisted relationship.
Can Nessa find the man inside the beast? Or will this be her last dance?
