Join six people as they unknowingly intertwine with each other, fall in and out of love, behave badly, show acts of friendship and kindness, strive towards professional progression and experience amazing coincidences which change their lives.Running parallel to the modern story is the trajectory of the birth of the great Italian opera Simon Boccanegra by Guiseppe Verdi that flopped at its first performance in Venice during 1857 and the relationship between the poet, Arrigo Boito and the composer, whilst revising the opera.

Everyone wants justice. That's what Agent Carlo Thorne tells me. "I need your help to find your father," he says, "so that I can find out who killed my mother." The only thing I want to talk about with my childhood-friend-come-FBI-alpha-male is if he remembers the lesson I taught him on how to eat a mango. "Will you help me find your dad?" He asks. If Agent Thorne slides his hands up my skirt and makes me scream his name, then I'll think about it. "Will you help me find out if your dad was laundering money for my grandfather?" He asks. If Agent Thorne pushes me against the elevator wall and slips his hands up my dress, then I'll think about it. I believe in family, loyalty, and love. Because I'm Sophia Niles. HBS. MBA. BAP. Boardroom and bedroom boss, self-made millionaire, believer in love, ooking for I-can't-live-without-you-sex. Agent Thorne is blinded by revenge. He is on a one-man mission to uncover the truth of his family's crimes, even if the truth comes at the expense of his family's fortune. He sees me as a good girl, college grad, who he could love. But, he doesn't know what I want. I want the whole love-marriage-baby-carriage thing, eventually. But can I live out my wildest fantasies while we're headed there? I'm already stressed out with my dad missing and my mom mentioning conspiracy theories. Can a good, smart, loyal, sexually awakened woman have some fun with a former-bad-boy-turned FBI agent? Let's find my dad. Let's solve your mom's crime. Let's have some fun too. P.S. This is Part 2 of a series. This is a short read. There is sexually explicit content that will make you feel naughty (or really nice). You're not left hanging over a cliff in the end, but rather you're given a happy ending. The series will end with a Happily Ever After with several happy endings along the way. P.P.S. Bonus content inside

"I collect antiques, earrings, old music and men" - Yvonne De CarloBack in the day, Yvonne De Carlo was "The Queen of Technicolor" and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World". She co-starred with the likes of Clark Gable, Rock Hudson, Burt Lancaster, Van Heflin, Joel McCrea and John Wayne in a series of forgettable, albeit successful, Westerns, pirate movies, and she also played her fair share of shady ladies and slave girls. Yet today, Yvonne is best remembered for her role as the wife of Moses in Cecil B. DeMille's THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, and probably even more so, as Lily Munster.YVONNE DE CARLO, Michael B. Druxman's one-woman play, is set in 1974 when the actress is at an emotional crossroads. As she contemplates divorcing her husband of eighteen years, she remembers the events that have brought her to this point in her life, beginning with a fatherless childhood in Vancouver, B. C., and a destitute mother intent on making her daughter a ballet star. She further reminisces about the many men who have passed through her life, including romances with the likes of Howard Hughes and Aly Khan.Yvonne's often humorous story is also one of love, passion, loss and near tragedy.
