Anya Volkov was adopted from Russia as a child, only to be rejected a year later, deemed difficult. After a lifetime of bouncing from foster home to foster home Anya is living in the East Village and scraping by playing gigs in small clubs, and facing eviction. She will do whatever it takes to keep a roof over the head of herself and her one year old son. Including making nice with the twin she does not remember and stealing baby food from a grocery store. Always needed, Kane Dermott does not want to bust the pierced and sexy woman stealing at the grocery but neither does he want to help her or believe her sob story. Being a cop and the oldest of six siblings with a single mom, he is always the one doing the right thing. The one everyone depends on. The good guy. For once, he just wants to have some fun with the hot girl, and Anya is more than willing to make him forget her petty theft in the most delicious way possible.
