I think this book could only appeal to people that love Scarlett O'hara.

Lucia Amato is an aspiring opera singer. Lucia's single mother, Jennie, worked hard to give Lucia singing lessons. Now, however, Jennie depends on her daughter to make a career and bring her reflected fame and fortune. Lucia is sick of her mother's clinging and since her mother can do nothing to further her career, she turns to Martin Frazier.

Martin is an up-and-coming conductor who adores Lucia. He helps to manage her career and singing skills. Lucia sleeps with him in order to get better opportunities though Martin's connections. As soon as Lucia gets her chance at stardom, she meets Constantine Zonar.

Zonar is a Greek shipping tycoon, separated from his wife, who loves Lucia for being an up-and-coming opera star. Both of them are temperamental and Lucia's budding career suffers. Lucia thinks to punish Zonar for his neglect by sleeping with her co-worker, Boris Nicolai, but the tables are turned when she discovers Zonar and Boris had been playing her all along.

Eventually, Zonar dumps Lucia, divorces his wife, and marries a rich, young socialite. Lucia's career is ruined and Martin appears to help her put her life and career back together, so she takes Martin back as her lover. Once again on the brink of stardom, Zonar appears ready to take her back.

Lucia finally realizes that Zonar has been trying to undermine her career all along! So she stays with Martin.

Is that romantic or what?
