At the prestigious Vaganova Academy in St. Petersburg, every step is a battle for perfection, and every movement conceals deep scars. Katerina Ivanova knows this better than anyone. In a world of relentless discipline, blinding spotlights, and thunderous applause that can never quite drown out the memories haunting her, Katerina struggles to hold herself together while carrying a burden no one else can see.
When a mysterious boy with a past as troubled as his icy gaze forces his way into her life, the rules Katerina has followed her entire life begin to unravel. Amid grueling rehearsals, devastating secrets, and a frozen city, they discover that the growing attraction between them may be the most dangerous choice either of them has ever made.
But in a world where every move matters, a single misstep can change everything. And some paths are forbidden not because they cannot be taken, but because once you choose them, there is no way back.
Forbidden Paths is a story of desire, guilt, shattered dreams, and the courage to dance on the edge of the abyss when all hope seems lost.

{A Dark Mafia Romance} It is a man's world... but it would be nothing without a woman or a girl. -James Brown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "What do you want then, Emiliano?" I used his first name this time and I swear I saw the fire in his eyes reviving as that smirk only got wider at the sound of it. Taking his hands out of his pockets, he rested them on the edge of the desk leaning closer to me. "What do you want from my empire that would suffice to please you?" I repeated, my voice dripping with hidden threats, warning him not to take it too far as he enjoyed doing. "You." He replied quickly as if the word was standing all this time on the tip of his tongue. My men heads turned, interpreting the meaning of it as a threat but it was everything but that and I cursed under my breath wishing it wasn't.Complete
