Summary: Set in the cultured but corrupt and pleasure-seeking world of 16th-century Venice, Dangerous Beauty tells of Veronica (McCormack), a brilliant, gifted and beautiful young woman whose handsome, high-born admirer, Marco (Sewell), cannot marry her because she is penniless and of questionable family. Veronica's cynical mother, Paolo (Bisset), teaches her to become a courtesan, and Veronica eventually rises to become the most celebrated courtesan in Venice -- a woman whose beauty and wit bring her everything she could want, except a life with the man she still adores. As war, disease and the Inquisition transform Venice from a paradise to a ravaged city, Veronica uses her power and intimacy with men to change destiny -- and to give herself one more chance at true love.
