Quick Synopsis
In 16th century Venice, Veronica is an intelligent and attractive young woman who falls in love with Marco Venier, a nobleman who cannot marry her due to her lack of wealth and uncertain family background. To improve her prospects, Veronica's mother, Paola, trains her to become a courtesan, a respected companion to the city's wealthiest and most influential men. Using her wit and charm, Veronica navigates this challenging world in an effort to alter her fate and pursue the possibility of genuine love with Marco.
Detailed Synopsis of Dangerous Beauty
Veronica is brilliant, gifted and beautiful, but the handsome aristocrat she loves, Marco Venier, cannot marry her because she is penniless and of questionable family. So Veronica's mother, Paola, teaches her to become a courtesan, one of the exotic companions favored by the richest and most powerful Venetian men. Veronica courageously uses her charms to change destiny -- and to give herself a chance at true love.
