Paola's Folly: A Roman Love Affair

By Robert Balchus

When a reclusive artist falls under the spell of a mysterious muse, their union ignites a storm of soul-searching desire, disturbing secrets, and creative genius. Dazzling art and stirring music become both weapon and currency in a game few understand-and even fewer survive. As lies deepen and loyalties fracture, a masterfully orchestrated, multimillion-dollar scam unfolds across borders, pulling collectors, con artists, and broken dreamers into its web. Daring, sensual, and psychologically provocative, this novel explores the seductive power of desire-and the price of chasing a fantasy too perfect to be real.
In a world where beauty deceives and passion corrupts, nothing is as it seems in this tale of intrigue and obsession, where the line between art and manipulation blurs beyond recognition.
