Rumours swept through the town, from a planned assassination by the President of Italy himself to accusations of the room holding tormented spirits unable to pass to the other side.
Now living with her older half sister Alexis in New York city, Hailie's finally decided it's time for her to find out the truth behind her fogged past and her parents death by venturing out back to Rome herself to finally start searching for the answers she had wanted for ten years.
The more questions you ask, the more vulnerable you become. Hailie finds herself stranded in deep water after finding out a little too much for her own liking, and far too much for their liking.
Time is reversed. The impossible comes to life. Traitors are exposed and years of lies are unfolded. After all, nobody said it was easy.

HIS ETERNAL DESIRE
She woke up in a hospital bed, her mind a void. There was no name to speak of, no memories to claim her as their own. Only a name on a paper, a face in a picture, and a haunting sense that she didn't belong in this world. Hazel, they called her. But who was Hazel? The girl who woke up didn't know where she came from. She didn't remember her life before the crash. The accident that stole her memories also erased the life she once knew, leaving only nightmares of a man and a woman whose bloodstained faces haunted her dreams. Their deaths were brutal. Violent. And somehow, they were tied to her. She could feel it. In the hollow spaces of her mind, in the way her heart raced when she saw their faces in old news articles, and in the unnerving whispers she heard in her dreams. A search for answers began, one that would reveal a dangerous truth. Hazel was not who they said she was. She wasn't just a girl in foster care. She was the daughter of two powerful, dead parents, caught in the deadly web of a world she never knew existed. A world of mafia bosses, ruthless betrayal, and blood-soaked revenge. And someone-someone she trusted-was responsible for their deaths. Her parents' killers had been lurking in the shadows for far too long. And now, it was time for Hazel to find them.
