Dahlia Harper's life was always different from her peers. Born into a world where success, prestige, and the expectations of influential families collided, she knew from an early age that her path would inevitably be different. As a professional figure skater, she was not only expected to excel on the ice, but her name had become synonymous with perfection. But behind the shiny exterior was a life of personal struggle, friendships that were both deep and complex, and the search for who she truly wanted to be in a world that so often dictated who she should be. Dahlia was more than a figure skater. She was a daughter, a friend, and above all someone who struggled with the fact that the lines between public and private life were often difficult to draw. Her friends-Jeremy Russo, Beau Davenport, Sofia and Niko Volkov, Theo Young, and Josephine Russo-each shared their own dreams, ambitions, and struggles. From sculpture to corporate empires, from literature to scents that filled the air, they were all connected by their roots and their own unique talents. But when the pressures of their family histories catch up to them all, they are faced with choices that will test not only their careers, but also their relationships with each other. As Dahlia tries to break free from the expectations, she discovers that she must not only pursue her own dreams, but also her friendships and even the love of her life.
