Yet, when Lien, the youngest grandson of the mafia boss, succumbs to the forbidden allure of a Russian enemy, the fragile balance of power teeters on the edge of chaos. As the Triad grapples with internal strife and the looming threat of betrayal, Lien finds himself ensnared in a web of passion and deceit with Vitya Reznikov. In a world where privilege is bought with blood, Lien must navigate treacherous waters to prove his loyalty, even as he discovers that the price of selfishness may cost him everything.

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!
