Our Strange Endeavors - Paperback

by Riley Andrews (Author)

A modern reimagining of The Phantom of the Opera.

Tragedy strikes when the owner of The Lotte, a century-old theater in the heart of the entertainment district, passes away, and the leading lady is hospitalized. With no mention of a beneficiary, the theater is claimed by the bank, attracting the most unsavory of buyers who would do anything to own the historic cabaret.

Krissy Davis, a young dancer at the height of her career, lands a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fill the role of the new leading lady. Her seemingly perfect life, basking in her newfound fame and glory, takes a turn for the worse when she starts casually dating the new owner. Things quickly turn toxic in their relationship, and she decides to break things off, but he retaliates by threatening to blacklist her from the industry if she leaves him.

To save her career and sanity, she seeks out the help of Erick Destler, a man who craves the theater nearly as badly as he craves her. Together, they stage her own kidnapping and hold her for ransom in exchange for the deed to the theater. To gain back her freedom, all she has to do is play her role - but what she never expected was falling for her captor.
