Thus far, as I am creating this book, I have only rewritten one execution: Mikan Tsumiki's. This is because she's one of my favorite characters in media and the canon game butchered not only her character but the execution, too. Up until the very end, they sexualized a character going through a load of trauma. So I wanted to improve upon what they so sorely missed in opportunity.
One thing to note about this execution, as well as others (if I write them), is that a portion of this is my interpretation of these characters and their motivations. Any commented complaints about characterization will be eaten, thank you!
Later on, I may consider writing others (feel free to drop suggestions), but I only have genuine issues with that execution. Enjoy!
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.

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.
