Genevieve's biggest comfort in life has always been dancing. When she stood on stage she could easily forget the bullies, the hardships, the problems of being a Jewish orphan in Hitler's Germany and become somebody else. So when she's given the opportunity to escape Berlin and become part of a family she couldn't be happier. With a pair of Lilac slippers and a head-full of dreams she's well on her way to happiness.
Then Genevieve's dream is altered by the arrival of Patrice; a brooding musical protege with a massive chip on his shoulder. Genevieve can't stand his callous attitude yet she finds herself drawn to him. They share a love of the arts and both have pasts they'd rather leave behind. But will social conventions, reputations and their own ambition get in the way?

Someone Like Adam
"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart? ... #1 in GENERAL FICTION (23-05-2019) #1 in CHICKLIT (21-07-2019)Complete

"Relax baby girl, I'm all yours," He smiled at me and I smiled back, genuinely happy. "So I was thinking," I started with a smirk. He chuckled, "Okay, okay," He leaned in and pressed his soft lips to mine. ************************************************** When Juliette Greene made a deal with Hampshire High School's bad boy, Alec West, to be his fake girlfriend in order to make it in the music career and to stop Alec's dad from pestering him about settling down.

"Kassauni, there is more to life than continuous pain and suffering. I am sure you know that, and no one is asking you to go through it alone," She told me.
