Pendulum

Ignorance blinded them from the truth. But what is the truth anymore? Lies will lead her to honor. Truth will lead her to destruction. Or at least that's what Rose believes. But what can you believe when you're forced to fight against an oppressor over 500 years before your time? Your mother's old boyfriend, no less. Rose has to lie. About who she is, where she comes from, everything. It's her only hope for surviving Renaissance Italy and the fragile balance of power that could change history forever. Thrust into a world entirely unlike her own, Rose must make choices that affect every aspect of the future. Control is essential. But with two handsome brothers fighting for her affection, her careful control over her heart is tested. In her race against time, Rose must choose between her head and her heart while ending the reign of Italy's infamous dictator: Filippo Maria Visconti. Or, as he's referred to in the 21st century, Hawkins. The clock is ticking. The pendulum has begun.
