After spending half her life pretending to be something sheโs not, performance is second nature for cabaret owner Bertha Hines.

Chef Amir Chowdhury jumped ship in New York to get a taste of the American Dream, only to discover heโs an unwanted ingredient. When ornery Amir reluctantly takes a job at The Cashmere, he thinks heโs hit the bottom of the barrel; however, working at the club reignites his dream of being a force for change. His boss, Bertha, ignites something else in him.
Bertha and Amir clash from the start, but her knowledge of politics and his knowledge of dance force them into a detente that fans the flames of latent desire. But Bertha has the vice squad on her tail, and news from home may end Amirโs dream before it comes to fruition. With their pasts and futures stacked against them, can Amir and Bertha hold on to their growing love?
