Rome's Reckoning
Betrayal in her hometown drives Brimmy across the ocean to Rome. But the city of ancient wonders holds more than just a fresh start; hidden dangers and unexpected encounters await, forcing her to confront not only her past but a thrilling, perilous future she never saw coming.
The sting of betrayal felt like a physical blow. Walking alone down the dark streets, the scene replayed in your mind: Derek, your boyfriend, with Natasha, your best friend.

Soon, Uncle Benny arrived, his blue Mercedes a beacon. His anger at Derek was a fierce comfort, even as you knew he wouldn't truly let it go. But for now, escape was the only thing that mattered. You were going to Rome.
