At just 20 years old, Aria Anderson had burst onto the scene, freshly graduated with a degree in choreography that showcased her mastery of ballet, modern, and jazz techniques, along with a keen understanding of body conditioning. It was during this exhilarating time that she crossed paths with Spencer Collins, a 25-year-old theater choreographer known for his intense and enigmatic presence. With a creative spirit that mirrored the shadows of his dark soul, Spencer captivated Aria in ways she never expected.
She believed she had finally escaped him. But five years later, the devil himself almost effortlessly tracks her down. All she ever wanted was to dance freely and explore the world, to find happiness in every fleeting moment. Yet, the shadow of love loomed over her, filling her with fear.
Then she encounters a man-someone who was only meant to be her boss. An undeniably recognizable face, he's a figure adored by millions yet equally despised by others. Despite the chaos surrounding him, his pure, kind heart beats unwaveringly.
Can she truly break free from her haunting past a second time? Will this escape be her last, or will the chains of fear bind her once more? The stakes are high, and the dance of love is about to begin.

"Imagine yourself a store manager for a St. Louis clothing store by day and a singer in a local band by night. That was me for a while. But then in 1987, I moved with my husband/bandmate to Los Angeles to gain more notoriety.
Fast forward, I end up on Michael Jackson's Bad Tour as his back up vocalist, leaving my husband behind.
What's the definition of torture? Doing a show with a man every night that you find yourself quickly falling for; a man who is untouchable. You're married, he's not interested (or so you would think) and then there's that other guy on the tour that you're forming an inappropriate relationship with...
The Bad Tour was TOUR-ture for me at times. There were a lot of great moments and lasting friendships were made but when you're touring with the biggest entertainer in the world, it's never all fun and games.
Just hear my story."
