The Return of Lucina Romano

Fool me once, shame on me

Fool me twice, shame on you

Fool me three times, ........

Fool me four? Good thing I'll never let you in to give you the chance.

Rose, that's the name she responds to. The name she thought was chosen for her from birth. Until she found out she was adopted at three, after a mysterious accident that left no survivors or witnesses. Nobody to claim her as their own.

Thirteen years and three living situations later, and her life looks very different. But not that different. Because theres always one consistency wherever she goes, she expects it. In fact, she anticipates it.

The first time, it was a misfortunate situation.

The second time, it was calculated.

The third time, she cried. At the situation? At her own stupidity? Who knows.

But when her oldest brother suddenly gets into contact wanting custody. She wants to refuse, but he doesn't give her a choice. And before she knows it, she's whisked away to another city, another state.

Surrounded by seven brothers, but impossibly more secrets to hide than even them. And what are they supposed to do, when their sister picks up on more than they realise.

And the fourth time......well honey. You're the fool if you think she'll fall for it again.
