Rafe Salvaggio took precautions to protect herself from being placed in a medical facility against her will. Now those precautions have come to light and the fallout causes chaos abound. Rafe's childhood friend Gabri has taken Rafe under his care and made the decision to get her home to Italy. Eden Kingsley must find the courage and the strength to step out of her comfort zone and follow her heart-even if it means flying thousands of miles away to an unfamiliar place. Her daughter Bronte is growing up fast and needs Rafe in her life. Eden must unravel the truth about Rafe's affair and travels to New York to confront the past. Julia Hawthorn is helping Eden with everything from taking care of Bronte to getting through the trauma of Rafe being whisked away by Gabri. She is methodically infiltrating Eden's life with the goal of keeping Eden for herself. If she can't persuade Eden not to travel to Italy, she will accompany her to protect what little ground she's gained. She is not afraid of confronting Rafe and spinning the narrative to get what she wants.
