title: Slow Revenge
author: Hilleren, Elizabeth
description: Slow Revenge is a story set in Napa Valley, about a young woman, Arianna Rossini, who finds herself pursued by a ruthless and cunning man who is determined to destroy her and her family. Arianna has no clue why she is being stalked and threatened. In a desperate move to escape she runs to someone outside her family to find a person she can trust, and finds her first love, Nicholas Resnikova, whom she has not seen for years. Nicholas runs a dance studio in San Francisco with a troop of colorful ballroom dancers. Much to her horror she finds that by seeking his help she has put a target on his back, and the backs of the others that help her. As the story unfolds we learn that the selection of Arianna is not random and we are drawn into a family history that was long unspoken. Arianna and Nicholas’ story is one of family love, friendships, loyalty, with unexpected turns, and the deadly threat from a man patient enough to wait years to extract his Slow Revenge.
