So Rare - A Different Kind of Memoir

We're only the main character of our own perspectives. ​I may be his victim in this story, but I wasn't the only one. This is the story of the other woman in his life who he ruined.

Elle Ortiz was a happy woman. She so loved her husband and children that she would have given anything for them. But what would happen if the man she married wasn't someone she knew as well as she thought? Faced with a situation where she's forced to choose between her family and what she knows is right, Elle is joined by an unlikely helper who's just as eager to discover the truth.

Joseph Ortiz appeared to everyone as the ideal man. He was a loving husband and father, a sacrificial marine, volunteer firefighter, and above all he was charming. Little did anyone know that his charm was the weapon he would use to manipulate not only a sixteen-year-old girl, but all those who were supposed to defend her.

Deputy Scott Landry enjoys his job. It's easy to defend a town as idyllic as Orange County's own Yorba Linda which rarely sees any crime. When his district receives a call about a runaway mentioning something about a boyfriend, he doesn't bat an eye as he prepares himself to have to calm down a few overbearing parents. Things begin to take a turn when he arrives on a scene more complicated than he expected. Before long, Deputy Landry is hell-bent on justice and will do anything he can to get it.

Jade Adams was a sixteen year old beauty queen going on twenty-five. Her severe depression and anxiety caused by a traumatic childhood had given her nothing but years of backlash and isolation from her peers. It didn't take long for her to realize that she was wasting her time worrying about high-school, prom, and boys her age. So when an older man started giving her the romantic attention and infatuation that she had always dreamed of, she dove in head-first without even considering the possibly deadly consequences.
