Hi, author's note here! I sort of lost interest in this half way through, but I decided to post this anyway.
This is my first book, so it's a bit jumpy. Tell me if I should continue this, I'm still willing to keep writing.
WARNING: Descriptive violence, gore scenes. Please do not read if blood and somber scenes trigger or disturb you. All the love! (If I get requests, I can make a similar book for younger intended audiences. 12+ age rating.)
A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.
***
Newly widowed housewife Melody Scott needs to earn some major cash, fast. When her bright and busy children learn that a priceless ruby bracelet has been stolen and a six-figure reward is being offered, they convince her to try to do what the police, museum security, and the best private investigators have failed to do. Working against them is a notorious thief who has met people from around the world, but who has never once encountered a woman like Melody Scott. When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family.
The Widow, Melody Scott is a 2021 Watty Award Winner!
