The Gift. Part 1 to Michael's Choice

Michael Rossi has an extraordinary talent. Every day, he sets out with his grandfather's camera to capture incredible images like the ones his Nonno used to take in Italy. His girlfriend recently left him with a broken heart and he's grateful for the distraction. One day, he sees a beautiful woman through his lens kneeling at a headstone. Intrigued by the way her red coat pools around her, he quietly snaps her picture and retreats to his home in the city, developing the film in his darkroom.
But Fate's hand pushes them together, and once Nicole tears down her walls, it doesn't take them long to fall in love. She harbors a secret however, a secret that she is ashamed of and that has changed her in ways she can't describe. If spoken, it would threaten the love she shares with Michael. Is their love strong enough to survive? Or will Nicole's secret take them down a dark hole that spirals deeper and deeper into uncertainty and into the hands of a killer?
