When prima ballerina Rebecca Carr returns to her old Brooklyn neighborhood, she finds her former dance instructor in serious financial trouble. Rebecca will do whatever is necessary to help save her old school. Even if it means accepting help from a man who doesn’t know a toe shoe from a tutu.

Jake Fleichman has the street smarts and financial savvy to rescue Miss Lilliana’s school from the brink of ruin. He first meets the beautiful ballerina when he helps his grandmother out at her bakery and takes her order. To Rebecca’s surprise, Jake is actually a famous New York chef, and the slim ballerina is soon swept up into the glamorous world of fine cuisine while helping him plan a fundraiser banquet.

Thrown into Jake’s world of zany sous chefs, nosy relatives, and a group of well meaning Brooklyn matchmakers, Rebecca learns there is life outside the ballet and that falling isn’t so bad when you’re in love.

Zelda Benjamin lives in South Florida with her husband, two children and two very active Dalmatians. When not working as a nurse in the Pediatric ER, she devotes her time to writing, reading and her horse Rodger.

Brooklyn Ballerina is Zelda’s first novel for Avalon.
