Will Charles snag the leading role… or the leading man? For a cocky young opera performer, there sure are a lot of things Charles has never done. Until he snags the title role in a new production of Debussy's impressionist opera Pelléas et Mélisande, he's never played a part outside the men's chorus. Rehearsals are hell with a merciless director like Jean-Luc, but conversations with co-star Bo make the days bearable. Charles can easily immerse himself in an artistic vision involving strong homoerotic overtones, but can he also surrender to his budding relationship with Bo? There’s so much Charles has never done. Will the director need to take charge in MAKING IT BIG? This book appears in the MANLOVE bundle. Previously published as PROFOUND IN HIS SILENCE.
