5 parts Ongoing Melody doesn't fight. She doesn't run. She just knows exactly where to poke until the whole damn thing collapses.
On paper, she's just another college dropout lying her way through life, dodging her father's expectations while barely keeping her secrets intact. But in reality? She's a walking time bomb-charming when she needs to be, reckless when she shouldn't be, and dangerously good at making problems disappear.
After a bar altercation turns into something much bigger, Melody finds herself caught in a game she never planned to play. A game where sharp tongues can be sharper than knives, and the wrong move could mean the difference between walking away and never being found again.
But she's used to handling people who don't play nice. After all, if life's a joke, she might as well be the punchline.
The story contains curse words, blood and gang violence.
