Down an Unknown Road

by Emily Senecal

Her road takes her to Rome, where she accepts the role of assistant to the owner of a contemporary art gallery. A whole new world of opportunity, a chance to start over, to learn a new language and meet new people, to become a better version of herself. Adventure, fulfillment, maybe even romance. It’s everything she could have hoped for.

Except—there’s the curse. Samantha’s predecessor disappeared eight months before, and since then no one has stayed in the position. Of course, it’s all nonsense.

And then there are the rumors. Salacious reports that her charismatic employer is much more than just her boss. There’s the disturbing offer of bribery. The threats when she refuses.

And then there’s a murder...
