Overview

The Twelve Dancing Princesses meets the heady glamor and danger of the Jazz Age All Dorothy Perkins wants is to have a good time. She's wild about dancing, and can't understand or accept her father's strictness in forbidding it. Night after night she sneaks out to the Lost Lake House, a glamorous island nightclub rumored to be the front for more than just music and dancing...in spite of an increasingly uneasy feeling that she may be getting into something more than she can handle. Marshall Kendrick knows the truth behind the Lost Lake House-and bitterly hates his job there. But fear and obligation have him trapped. When a twist of circumstances throws Dorothy and Marshall together one night, it may offer them both a chance at escaping the tangled web of fear and deceit each has woven...if only they are brave enough to take it.
