Introduction...
I read once that people believe you can fall in love three times in a single lifetime.
The first time is exciting, it's fast, new and exhilarating.
The kind of love you'll never forget.
The second time you fall in love with someone you begin to heal, mature and understand how it all
works.
It's a precious kind of love.
But the third time...
The third, It's strong, passionately real and everlasting.
The kind of love that will have me on my knees.
My Name Is Giovanni Venturi and this is my story about the Three Loves in my lifetime.
I'll take you back to the past to visit my first love, Celeste Maddison. She just happens to be the mother
of my Second love. My precious daughter Rosalia. I'll tell you about our journey of having to leave New
Zealand to fly back home to Italy. The struggle of being a single dad while being a hotshot lawyer and
taking down the mob. It sent us into hiding and lead to the abduction of Rosalia. We had to fake our
deaths to start a new life. Rosalia went to live in Auckland, New Zealand with her Uncle and Aunt while
I had to go hide out in Ireland for two years. Then I'll invite you to join me at our present time where I
meet Mia. My third and final love. I'll admit... I tried to keep my hands to myself, but her innocence
brings out the protectiveness in me. And I'll be damned if I let her go once I've announced to the world
that she now belongs to me.
