A Rose By Any Other Name

"Well, eventually, over time, we all become our own doppelgangers - these completely different people who just happen to look like us."
- Ted Mosby.

For Esme Rennings, the Last testament and Will of Lamar Reiner came as a shock. She hadn't known him for a long time to be able to call him a close friend, so deeding a small percentage of his restaurant in Rome to her was a bit far fetched. Not to mention the letter imploring her to respect his last wishes and pack up her life in New York to spend the next year in Rome.

For the family Lamar left in Rome, whom have suffered two great losses in the space of three years, life must go on as usual. But when Lamar sends a girl who looks exactly like their dead friend Rose from 3 years ago, all bets are off. Especially for the two boys who loved Rose.

The more time Esme spends with Kieran and Nikolas, the more she realizes that things are not what they seem. Especially when these two extremely beautiful boys are involved.

"The thing about love is that it makes you unselfish. Especially when it comes to her. I want her. Of course I want her. But I'd rather suffer only being able to look at her than not having her around at all. I can't lose her...not again..."
