Anna Pavlova Krylov is a direct descendant of the world famous prima ballerina Anna Pavlova and is given her name. Her mother focuses her life on ballet from early childhood to the exclusion of all else.
When Anna is judged to have less talent than a ballerina must have by Julliard and the American Academy of Ballet, it does not deter her. Rather it makes her even more determined to achieve her dream and prove them wrong.
She dances in the corps de ballet of the San Francisco Ballet Company, but doesn’t become a ballerina. She accepts a ballerina role with a small road-ballet company riding a bus between performances in small towns. She works harder than anyone else, and at last the Pacific Northwest Ballet Company selects her to understudy the ballerina in Giselle, the opening ballet of the season. On the eve of her success, she literally breaks her leg ending her dancing career and sending her into painful rehabilitation and despair.
Untrained for anything but ballet, she hides away on San Juan Island in Puget Sound to make the life-changing decision that has been forced upon her. That is when fate steps in. A chance discovery of a large ransom thrusts her into a world of kidnapping, murder, deception, and love.
