In a matter of years, she secures a luxurious penthouse and sets up business as a high-class mistress for several powerful men. Each lover believes he is the one and only, and each pays Sophia a monthly retainer to keep her on-call. Will Sophia's duplicitous arrangement survive prying questions? How smart does she have to be to survive blackmail and manage her wealthy clients? Will her accumulated wealth buy her happiness? Author's Note: Years ago, I worked as a magazine journalist and stumbled upon a story about an intelligent, wealthy high-class call-girl. It took many months of assurances and rearranging private interviews before I was able to meet her in the flesh. It was one of the most astounding interview sessions I ever encountered. This information forms the basis of this true-life story, DUPLICITY. For this reason, I have changed names, dates and some of the details to protect her identity. I also set this story in a different geographical location and minimised content that could result in exposing her. I believe the story provides some insight into the psychological makeup of people who choose this lifestyle. She is, of course, a rare exception and bears no resemblance to the majority of broken women, who ply their trade, on city streets and in brothels. This compelling book explores the reasons why this attractive, university educated, daughter from a well-established, wealthy family pursued this decadent direction.
