Synopsis

By night Jack McCabe captivates audiences. He is a fire-breather, a spectacle desired by women and envied by men. But by day Jack is a loner few people truly know.

When wide-eyed dreamer Lille decides to leave her humdrum life behind and run away with the circus, she never expects to meet someone like Jack. He is moody and distrustful, and he definitely doesn’t want to be her friend. He tells her the circus isn’t the place for her, that there are dangerous people who will try to take advantage, but Lille refuses to quit.

Slowly but surely Lille breaks past Jack’s walls. He wants to protect her but resents the attraction he feels. When they finally succumb to desire, Lille comes to learn that the course of true love never did run smooth.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Circus Spektakulär is proud to present Jack McCabe: Fire-breather, knife-thrower, risk-taker. My house burned down when I was just a boy, robbing me of both my parents. Now I breathe fire, eat the poison that almost killed me. Crowds come to see me night after night. Men for the spectacle, women for the thrill. I’m an oddity to be stared at and desired. With each flame I spit, I risk my life. I wear scars on my body that will never go away, but the scars inside my head are far more difficult to overlook. My brother doesn’t know me, and if I have it my way he never will. Life was going exactly the way I’d planned until Lille came along. She wanted to run away with the circus, have an adventure, but this world was never meant for her. I try to keep her safe, because she doesn’t know the dangers that are out here on the road. She doesn’t know the monsters that lurk behind the bright lights of the ring. In truth, I could be considered one of them. We were fashioned from different cloths, never intended to mix. So I watch her. I try not to touch, even when her eyes invite me. Join us in the Spiegeltent and let us give you a show. Allow my Lille to draw a picture for you in paint and sweat and skin. The truest love is always the hardest to let in.
