Cherie Estelle Auclaire is a rising star in the French ballet world, graceful yet fiery, her life centered on perfecting her art. Alexander Orfeas Chrysanthos, a ruthless Greece businessman, lives by the rules of control, precision, and profit. When Cherie's family invites Alex's family to one of her performances, the two are immediately at odds-she sees him as cold and unfeeling; he dismisses her world as frivolous.
But behind the scenes, their families have a plan. An arranged romance and marriage could unite the Auclaire and Chrysantos empires, strengthening both families' influence. Cherie and Alex are horrified, yet neither is willing to show weakness in front of the other. Thrown together by scheming relatives and business deals, they clash at every turn-her passion against his logic, her freedom against his control.
Through a series of confrontations, near-misses, and increasingly vulnerable moments, Cherie and Alex are forced to see each other in a new light. Underneath the rivalry, they begin to understand each other's drive, fears, and hidden desires. But with their families' business interests on the line, will they allow themselves to admit the true feelings growing between them?
